Friday, November 15th

Objective: 
Deconstruct chapters 8-14 and further analyze key characters

Starter: 15 minutes

• Find at least one  significant passage for each of these five characters: Etta, Carl Heine, Jr., Ishmael, Hatsue, Kabuo, Carl Heine, Sr.  (chs. 8-9)
  
• Write down the page # and character name on a sticky note and/or mark the page with the character's name
• Review the key characters that were introduced/highlighted in this section of the book (chapters 8-14)

Agenda:
1. Quiz
2. Review the quiz and discuss key passages

• Land dispute
• Pages 199-201
• Page 169 Analysis
  
  • What themes can you pick out from this passage?
    
  • In small groups, analyze one of the themes:
  • In what ways are these themes popping up in the book:
  • For example, for the theme of cause and effect, you might say that cause and effect are significant because it shows that life is not random-- without the war and Pearl Harbor, there would be no internment camps. However, you might question if it is really as simple as that.  Without Carl's death, there would be no trial.  But is it as simple as that?

3. Add to character analysis posters-- Merry-go-round style

• 10 minutes: Share your notes for your originally assigned character with your group.  Select the 2-3 most significant quotes/passages and write those on your group's poster
• Rotate!
  
• Read what is currently on the poster. No repeats!
• Share notes and key details about the new character as a group. Decide which 2 passages/quotes are best to add.  Write them on the poster.
• Rotate!
• Repeat for all remaining posters. 

4. Historical Inquiry work time if time!
