Starter: FREE WRITE!
It has been awhile since we've had one of these!  Take the next 10 minutes to write about whatever you want. You can tell a creative story, or describe your morning in as much detail as possible.  Just keep writing for 10 minutes. It can be total stream of consciousness if you'd like.  

Mock Trial Role Selection: Read over and then fill out the trial role selection handout with your top three preferences for your mock trial role.  Make sure your name is on it!

Seminar Prep Work Time

• By the end of class today you should be DONE with all the readings and documents
• Tonight for homework do at least HALF of the response but decide for yourself how to manage your time as you'll only have 4O minutes of work time before seminar tomorrow.  Your seminar prep needs to be printed by 11:00 am tomorrow morning! That includes 1-page written response AND document-based responses.

Ticket Out The Door:  With a partner, write down responses to these two prompts for me:

• How do you think we should structure the seminar tomorrow?  Document-based questions first? Just general free for all? Start with student questions? Open it up to just the driving question and people's general reactions then work through documents more systematically? What makes sense to you?
• Come up with  2-3 questions for our seminar tomorrow.  They can either be based on the readings you have done this week or they can attempt to make your peers make connections to other events.  Make them thought-provoking!
• Put your names on the notecard.

Mock Trial Roles have been established!!  Here they are!

Ashley's introduction to Thursday's Seminar and the required prep (10 min)

• What are we doing this week?  
  This week's class work is designed to give you all more of a firsthand account of what life in Japanese Internment camps was like.  It is shocking how timely this topic is and how important it is for us to explore it given the anti-Muslim sentiments that exist today and potential policy proposals on the horizon.  Dig into these readings with an open heart and open mind!
• Read over the instructions on page 15 of your notebooks
• I would STRONGLY encourage annotating as  you read so that you can easily reference items in seminar discussion.  I am going to give a seminar participation grade this time.
• Doc. 7 is the newspaper--- pick an article you think is important and respond to that.
• Pay attention to themes in the poetry selections! Try to identify key words/phrases that reveal the tone and overall theme of each poem
• Where can you find the documents? (hard copies available on table by the whiteboard, most digital copies available on Project Documents page)
