A video clip that depicts the formation of the Khmer Rouge and some of their effects on the Cambodian population and a Google Map tour that shows the major cities and other key areas that will be discussed in the book //First They Killed My Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers.//
 * 1) 1 Lesson/Project
 * two days to prepare a short video
 * Create a video montage that depicts the horrors that Cambodian people went through.
 * Create an online quiz that teaches/informs students of how the Khmer Rouge came to power and what they did by researching the history of the Khmer Rouge using online databases.

For the brainstorming activity, I would like you to partake in the survey/poll questions to get a feel for the topic and theme of the book. After looking at the poll results, we will discuss several key aspects of the Cambodian culture and formation of Communism. Poll Everywhere Example

Animoto will be the website to construct a 30 second video that displays powerful images and briefly summarizes each picture that illustrates the Khmer Rouge takeover of Cambodia and devastating actions that were administered on the civilians. 30 Second Animoto Video

Google Maps will allow you to map out the journey of the main character based on the -Table of Contents- from the book //First They Killed My Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers.// This not only will give you an idea of the journey she partook in, but help you become familiar with the country itself. When you click this link, you must then click on "my places", next click on "Country of Cambodia" you will then see an example of a map you can construct that follows the places discussed in the book. Google Map of Cambodia Finally, using Scree-O-Matic, record content from several documentaries to create your own three to four minute informational video, combining information from several resources that gives the class some sort of idea of what led to the Khmer Rouge takeover and the aftermath that followed.
