Agenda
Quick summary of what we watched in Snow Falling on Cedars on Friday (2 min)

Finish Snow Falling on Cedars  (50 min.)

Starter 36: 
What is your reaction to the above  video on my DP blog post for today? (10 min)
​
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)

​WORK TIME
  1. TURN IN YOUR NOTEBOOK pages 1-14 AND  the Nanking pages
  2.  Begin seminar prep
  3. Honors, you may conference with me on your essay if need be

SUGGESTIONS FOR YOUR WORK TIME THIS WEEK:
  • Be done with 4 of the sources by the end of class tomorrow
  • Finish the other 4 in class on Wednesday
  • Write most of your written response Wednesday evening-- you'll have ~45 minutes of work time on it before seminar on Thursday
