Holocaust studies units and Ancient Israel units coming soon!

Just a quick note to say after an AMAZING 3 weeks in Israel studying at the Yad Vashem International School for Holocaust Studies, I am again inspired and working hard to complete some new units on Holocaust studies as well as an exploration into Ancient Israel.

What a beautiful country - check out my pictures below! Keep an eye on my TpT store page for my units due early Feb.

Cheers

Scholarship to study the Holocaust at Yad Vashem University in Israel!

I'm a bit flabbergasted and blown away to announce that I have received a Pauline Glass Grant to study more about the Holocaust and how to teach it within schools, which includes an intensive 17 day trip this summer holidays to Israel!

I leave on Dec 28 and return around 20th January. It's going to be very full on but should hopefully provide me with more ideas and resources to use when teaching my students about the atrocities of the Holocaust and WWII. Fantastic timing too as next year will be our first lot of Year 10 students and our first Year 11 History class for advanced students, and I am teaching both!!

Very excited Caz!!
