22 | May 16, 2019 | The Northbrook tower school northbrooktower.com Wood Oaks students present final projects on genocide prevention Submitted Content Wood Oaks eighth-graders recently presented their final projects on genocide after studying genocide and genocide prevention in social studies classes. The students have been studying the issue of genocide, particularly in Darfur and Rwanda. They participated in a half-day workshop in March with Carl Wilkens, who was the last American to stay in Rwanda during the genocide there in 1994. He is credited with saving hundreds of lives by his humanitarian efforts. The student projects ran the gamut, from posters to videos, to pieces of art. The students were encouraged to be creative, said Gella Meyerhoff, one of the Wood Oaks social Paige Star, left, and Madison Rosengard show off their genocide projects at Wood Oaks Junior High School. studies teachers. “Because the unit on genocide has troubling and emotionally charged content, students were encouraged to use art as a means of expression, reflecting their response to this important and difficult subject,” Meyerhoff said. Two students, Alex Smith and Maddie Furman, created a claw-type game with the words “Never Again” scrawled on the background.

Meyerhoff said the unit is designed to not only teach the students about genocide, but arm them with information to keep the killings from happening again. “Our eighth grade students explore genocide and genocide prevention to envision the ways that they might transform their learning into action as global citizens impacting the world in a positive way,” she said. “Our goal is to empower students to ‘remember the past and transform the future.’” My hands on approach reduces costs and avoids confusion.
