Heroism (PhotoStory) Project
"Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages
the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When
human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy,
national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Wherever men and
women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political
views, that place must — at that moment — become the center of the
universe… And action is the only remedy to indifference, the most
insidious danger of all." — Elie Wiesel, Nobel Prize acceptance
speech, 1986
Part I
Write in your journals, investigating, explaining, and exploring the
meaning of the quote. Use any or all of the following prompts: Do you
agree with this statement? Why or why not? Can you think of any
experiences you have had that validate or contradict this idea? What,
if any, are the personal implications of this statement? What
questions do you have about this statement?
Part II Adapted from The Heroism Project
Using the lists below as suggestions, find out about a modern genocide
human rights activist or modern genocide survivor. Ideally, students
will identify people with whom they might be able to make a
connection.
What did they do (or are they doing)? Why? What kind of risks did they
take, if any? How did their actions impact the world? What do their
contributions have to do with human rights and tolerance? A possible
source for this unit is the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum’s
website at www.ushmm.org which you may access through the library’s
webliography page.
People: Niemat Ahmadi, Christine Amanpour, Jean-Philippe Ceppi, Eric
Dachy, General Romeo Dallaire, Alex de Waal, Alison Des Forges, Mary
“Fifi” Mukangoga, Damas Gisimba, Mark Hanis, Ron Haviv, Omer Ismail,
Natasa Kandic, Jennifer Leaning, Hasan Nuhanovic, Sen. William
Proxmire, Stephen Rapp, Brian Steidle, Clemantine Wamariya, Carl
Wilkins.
Your task:
In a PhotoStory Essay (a pictorial essay narrated by you from
information you have researched), you will create a testimony, or a
witness, to the heroic efforts of your person.
Requirements:
*
Include the answers to the questions in bold, including who is
this person/organization? What action were they taking and
did/does that action affect change in the world—how have their
contributions affected human rights and tolerance? What did he/she
sacrifice in order to commit to this endeavor? Include a brief
biography of the person’s history—no more than 2 of your images
should focus on this.
*
At least ten images for your Photostory.
*
Narration performed by you using a script you have written. Script
must be insightful (answering the w-questions above), have unity,
organization, and purpose. Tell the viewer what they absolutely
need to know about this person.
*
A separate MLA works cited page that documents sources and images
used.
After we are done with this project, we will put these on my website
as a witness gallery, so that we may pay tribute for those that have
acted against human suffering.
Part III
You will present the information you learned about your humanitarian
or organization to the class. You will receive points based on how
well you present in addition to how polite you are as an audience
