The Japanese-American Internment During World War II: Teaching Bundle

By Christa Nonnemaker

The resource bundle includes the following items:

*The Japanese-American Experience During World War II: Power Point Presentation
* The Japanese-American Experience During World War II: Reading Assignment and Worksheet with Answer Key

*The Japanese-American Experience During World War II: Analyzing Primary Sources and DBQs

PowerPoint Presentation
This 30-slide presentation on the Japanese-American experience in World War II presents a broad and deep look at the nature of the four years between the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the end of World War II and how it impacted the Japanese immigrants (Issei) and their American-born children (Nisei). The slides include information about the Japanese and Japanese-American internment in camps along with the enlistment of both young Nisei men and Nisei women in the military. The slides also include information about those who didn't live in the camps and those who presented legal challenges to internment. The slides use engaging visuals including photographs, letters, documents and art to convey the experiences of an entire group of people who were moved away from their homes and businesses without constitutional redress. These visuals are primary sources that the instructor can use to further student understanding. The slides also include Reflection Questions which the instructor can choose to discuss with students. There are no correct answers to the Reflection Questions but should prompt interesting discussions. This slide presentation is equally valuable for the home-schooled student or for those instructors who want to provide supplemental information to their students. At the end of the presentation, there is a slide that provides annotations on the websites used to access the primary sources which are featured throughout the presentation. I hope that students find this presentation worthwhile and deepens their understanding about an experience that should give everyone pause but also shows the resiliency of both the Issei and Nisei during a very difficult time.

Reading Assignment and Worksheet with Answer Key

This 7-page Reading Assignment about the Japanese internment and other experiences in World War II presents a broad and deep look at the nature of the four years between the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the end of World War II and how it impacted the Japanese immigrants (Issei) and their American-born children (Nisei). This close reading assignment goes beyond typical textbook descriptions of the Japanese-American experience during World War II. It provides detailed explanations as to the evacuation process, life in the camps and issues that the residents faced. The assignment also includes information about those who didn't live in the camps and those who presented legal challenges to internment. The 3-page Worksheet asks students to answer questions based on their reading. This will reinforce their learning on the topic.

This Reading Assignment is equally valuable for the home-schooled student or for those instructors who want to provide supplemental information to their students. The second page of this assignment provides a list of important terms as well as an explanation about the use of historical terminology. I hope that students find this Reading Assignment worthwhile and deepens their understanding about an experience that should give everyone pause but also shows the resiliency of both the Issei and Nisei during a very difficult time. A worksheet is included.

This is also available as a digital resource through Easel so students may complete it online.

Analyzing Primary Sources and DBQs

This 23-page resource with 15 primary sources and 2 DBQ prompts gives students a chance to delve deeper into the experiences of Japanese-Americans during World War II. Many students know that Japanese-Americans from the West Coast were interned. Here’s a chance to read documents that shed light on how the decision was made, whether the racial prejudices were shared among all Americans, how Japanese-Americans contributed outside the camps, and how re-integration was perceived. The Japanese-American experience went far beyond their internment in the camps.

Primary Sources include:
Customer Complaint and Restaurant Owner’s Response
Transcript from a Meeting in General DeWitt’s Office
Excerpt from Executive Order 9066
Evacuation Notice Number 9
Images from Evacuation and Assembly Center
Letter from Internee to Former Middle School Teacher
Report from Congressional Committee on Camps
Photographs of Life inside the Internment Camp
Resolution by the Native Sons of the Golden West, Santa Cruz Parlor
Photographs of Contributions by Japanese-Americans
Letter Insert by Assistant Director of War Relocation Authority

Included is a one-page sheet that explains what primary sources are and how to analyze them using specific questions through a process called HAPPY. Primary sources include letters, photos, reports and other documents. Each page of primary sources includes questions. Two DBQ prompts with instructions are included.

There is also a page at the end for students to apply the HAPPY process to one source. An Answer Key to all the questions and the HAPPY process is available at the end of the packet.

Women of the American Revolution, 1763-1783: Teaching Bundle

By Christa Nonnemaker

This resource bundle includes the following items:

*Revolutionary Women: Power Point Lesson

*Revolutionary Women: Reading Assignment and Worksheet

*Revolutionary Women: Primary Source Analysis and DBQs

Power Point Lesson

This 13-slide PowerPoint presentation covers the Revolutionary Era between 1763 and 1783. The Pre-Revolutionary Era lasted from 1763 through 1776 and the Revolutionary War lasted from 1776 to 1783. It is an ideal lesson for the Revolutionary War period or as a stand-alone resource for women’s history. The presentation includes descriptive text as well as primary sources. It is also a good resource during Women’s History Month.

Each slide contains information and graphics that highlight how women contributed during this period. Unlike during the Colonial Era, women began to take part politically, albeit in the form of writing or in choosing to boycott British goods. Nonetheless, it was a shift in women's roles in which women did not have a voice. This period challenged Americans to ask themselves what they sought in their new country. Not surprisingly, some women and African-Americans questioned whether they too should have equality in society. This question was not satisfactorily answered as a result of the war, but it did at least offer a platform wherein some people could pose the questions.

The Power Point presentation is available as a PDF and as a PPT file, included as a bonus file.

There is also an Easel Activity and Assessment. Whether for standard classroom use, Home Schoolers or for asynchronous learning, these are valuable digital tools.

This is also available as a digital resource through Easel. Students may review independently.

Reading Assignment and Worksheet

This four-page Reading Assignment and Worksheet provides an overview of the various activities, attributes and activities of women during the Revolutionary Era. It covers the time period 1763, the end of the French and Indian War and through the American Revolution to 1783. Due to increasing pressures from Great Britain, colonists began to resist and women, for the first time, became involved on a political level, although not at the same level as men. Women's contributions will be highlighted during the Pre-Revolutionary Era (1763-776) and the Revolutionary War (1776-1783).

Reading Assignment - 3 pages

Worksheet - 1 page

Analyzing Primary Sources

This 20-page Primary Source Analysis and DBQ activity gives students a chance to the contributions and changing roles of women during the Revolutionary Era between 1763 and 1783. In addition, there are two Document-Based Questions (DBQs). Included is a one-page sheet that explains what primary sources are and how to analyze them using specific questions through a process called HAPPY. Primary sources include pamphlet excerpts, photographs and posters. Each page of primary sources includes questions. Teaching Notes are also included at the beginning of the resource. There is also a page at the end for students to apply the HAPPY process to one source. An Answer Key to all the questions and the HAPPY process is available at the end of the packet. This is excellent practice for all high school students, particularly Honors and AP students, but all students will find these resources engaging.
