 * Step 1:
 * Research the history of the group you have chosen, and the ways in which it has been persecuted.
 * Step 2:
 * Answer the following questions for the group you have researched.
 * What type of group is this? (i.e. religious, cultural, ethnic, racial, geographical, etc.)
 * By whom has this group been persecuted, and for what reasons?
 * What acts have been committed against this group, and where do these acts fall on the Pyramid of Hate?
 * Step 3:
 * Find and include a 1st person account of an experience related to the Pyramid of Hate that is written by a member of the group researched. (Be sure to put this quote in quotations and give the author credit.)
 * Step 4:
 * Include at least one (1) image that is relevant to the group and experiences researched.
 * Step 5:
 * Write a concluding paragraph that connects the experience(s) of the group you researched with those of Elie Wiesel, author of "Night." Also include in this paragraph an explanation of the escalation of hate from "Subtle acts of violence" to "Genocide."
 * Step 6:
 * Be sure to cite your research and graphics at the bottom of your page. An easy way to do this is to use the following link, which will give you the citation once you have entered the necessary information.
