Starter:

Practice the HT Thinking Skill- Close Reading

Read the following quote and identify the author's bias.  Which words/phrases in particular express his bias?  What additional evidence would you need to corroborate his claim?

"When war broke out....my dad was fearful, because he was a volunteer for the Gardena Valley Japanese Association.  It was nothing subversive- no politics- It was just to help out the farmers, translate for those who had difficulty with English language documents.  But, due to war hysteria, authorities thought whoever goes in and out of the Japanese Association must be planning sabotage or something" (Bill Nishimura, Document #1)

Agenda
1. Review requirements for seminar participation tomorrow
