Part 2: The Simulation

Developing the Branching Simulation

Based upon the background you developed in Part 1, develop a branching simulation. Requirements include:

At least 12 major decision points.
Each decision point must provide a description of events leading up to the decision (it could include dialogue, description of actions by family members and others). Major events in your country should be included here.
Each decision point must have only two choices. For each choice, a description of the pros and cons should be discussed.
Specific consequences for each choice should start the next decision point page.
An Intersection Point with at least one group at a location and situation to be determined by the groups.
The stages of the Holocaust relevant to your country (as listed on the Country Requirements page)
An instance of rescue by a non-Jew or an instance of resistance - successful or not.
All of your decision paths need to end. Either in survival or death. Be sensitive in these descriptions, you are basing these simulations of the actual events and people.

The instructor will review the requirements of the branching simulation and provide an overview of the web site resources.
Using the provide Resource Links and Country Links, student groups will develop a Progression of Events Chart that incorporates the specific Country Requirements. Be sure to make arrangements with at least one other group for an Intersection Point.
Once the Progression of Events Chart has been approved by the teacher, you will begin development of the Decision Points pages.
You will start your branching simulation on the Background page your completed in Part 1. ( Period 1 | Period 2 | Period 3 | Period 4 )
When finished, your group must complete the Final Project Check Off sheet and have the instructor sign off on it.

Team members may work on different pages at the same time, but NEVER the same page at the same time.
Write up your descriptions in Word first, so you can spell check your work.
When linking the Decision Points, make sure you are naming the links appropriately.
Proof read your teams entries and make changes any appropriate changes.
If time allows, proof read another groups branching simulation, making appropriate changes.
