China's Camps: "Re-education Centers" Or "Concentration Camps"?
By Sarah Austin
This lesson will have students critically explore what has been described as “one of the worst human rights crisis in the world”— referring to the camps located in the northwestern province of China, which are currently holding a million or more Uighur Muslims. The Chinese government disagrees with this portrayal, and has claimed that the camps are merely “re-education centers.” This lesson will have students analyze the validity of the two portrayals through the study of multiple sources.
The central investigative question is:
Are the camps in China “re-education centers” or are they “concentration camps”?
Time Frame: 2-3 class periods (60 min)
