Abstract:
This lesson plan focuses on the Japanese internment during World War Two. Utilizing primary sources such as newspaper headlines, executive orders, an excerpt from A Farewell to Manzanar, and visual images, the students will answer two essential questions about Japanese internment. In a culminating activity, the students compose an informational essay based on their analysis of the primary sources. This lesson includes relevant Common Core State Standards for English/Language Arts and National Council for Social Studies Standards.
