Objective:
  • Use critical and historical thinking skills to analyze primary and secondary source documents in order to make an informed claim on our historical inquiry driving question:  What was life like in Japanese Internment Camps? Prisons or Temporary Inconveniences?
  • Analyze the binary of Fate v. Personal Control in SFoC 

Starter:
1. Do you think events in life are a) accidental and random,  b) destined to happen, or c) up to us to control? Explain.
Stuck?  You could explain by providing a personal experience or simply summarize your personal/spiritual/religious belief on this topic.


Agenda:
1. Go over announcements and this week's homework



2. Share starters in partners


3. Summarize your partners ideas for whole class


4. Read aloud pages 153-157
  • How does this passage reflect Kabuo's perspective on fate v. free will?
  • Does Kabuo have control over his fate?
  • What is Guterson implying about our justice system in this passage?  
  • What can you imply about Guterson's perspective on fate v. personal control thus far in the novel?  What might be his "lesson" to the reader about the role fate plays in our life and what we can or cannot do about it?
