Secondary Curriculum Unit Download

We’re very proud of our newly revised curriculum units. We’ve heard exciting stories from teachers across the country that have added Maja’s Story to their lesson plan. There are two different units available for download.

Maja's Story - A Memorial

Purpose: The phrase “Never Again,” is often used when speaking about genocide. Although this goal has yet to be reached, one way to pursue it is to create powerful memorial museums to keep the stories alive.

Maja's Story - Letter to Maja

Purpose: Many students have difficulty relating to or making sense of issues like war and genocide that seem so distant from their own lives. Establishing a connection with the story of one person establishes empathy and ignites curiosity about the events. Maja’s Story is an excellent introduction to any issue of war or genocide but is of course particularly suited to begin study of the events she experienced firsthand – war in Bosnia. Her story can also be used in a more general way in writing classes or to help at risk students open up about their own experiences.
