World War II - year 8

Since you are currently working with World War II in social science I figured we might as well do some reading comprehension activities in English connected to the subject.

BBC has an interactive map of Auschwitz with all the information you need to answer the questions below. Check your language, write proper sentences and remember that all five skills in English are applicable on this task. (You can find the skills under the tab Kursplan eng.)

Link to the interactive map here.

Write your answers to the questions below in a Google doc and save it in your English folder on Google Drive.

What were the Ghettos and what purpose did they serve?
