11/29/2016

0 Comments

 
Welcome back!   I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving break!

Starter:  
Take 5 minutes to share a few highlights from your break with your neighbors

Agenda
1. Intro to the "Korematsu v. US Supreme Court Case Historical Background and Important Content" Notebook (pdf version)
  • Ashley will pass the notebook out (Feel free to work on this digitally by downloading this word document)
  • We'll go over the learning objectives and schedule for the next two weeks listed on page 

2. Please complete "Review" on page 3

3. We'll discuss your review answers

4. Watch "Manzanar" a film about one of the Japanese Internment camps and take some notes on the following questions that we'll discuss afterwards: 
  • What did you learn about the Japanese immigrant experience? How were people's identities affected by this experience? 
  • How did the US government's and media's use of propaganda fuel the growing fear and hysteria and affect Japanese Americans?
  • What does shikata ga nai mean? 
  • What questions about this time period or the internment camps themselves did this film raise for you? 

5. Ashley's lecture on key vocabulary and constitutional terms relevant to Japanese Internment camps (complete pages 3-4 as I talk)

6. Time to get started on homework reading if time!

Homework
Complete pages 3-4 if you didn't in class.  Begin reading the Zinn/Schweitzer readings I passed out in class today.  Annotate as you do so and take notes on page 14 of your notebooks for FRIDAY's class discussion!
