B. Create a visual representation explaining the roots, effects and aftermath of an
ultranationalist event that resulted in genocide.
Suggested Activities
Students explore to what extent ultranationalism is a root cause of genocide and create a
presentation to portray an ultranationalist action that led to a catastrophic abuse of human rights.
The selection of topics, identification of suitable reference material and handling of discussions must
be done with sensitivity as some students, because of their backgrounds, may be upset by the issues
raised.

Prepare presentations
Encourage students to locate information, including visual and graphic representations of the
incident, for use in their visual presentations; e.g., video, electronic slide show, poster. Remind
students of, or have them generate, criteria for effective presentations:
informative (the 5 Ws)
concise
convincing
appropriate for the intended purpose and audience
easy to understand, read and view.
Discuss with the class the intended audience for these presentations, such as a school assembly, a
community program or a Web site. Agree as a class on the intended audience. Remind the students
that the purpose of the presentation is to inform audiences about the dangers of ultranationalism
and to suggest what nations might do to prevent human rights abuses.
Present the findings
Arrange for each group to present its work to the identified audience.
