Today, we discussed Japanese Internment and watched an old movie presentation produced by the government.

If you want to see the images we looked at more closely, they are here:

Just copy and paste.

Your homework is to read Chapter 42, and list five of the most important ideas from the chapter. Not the first five, the most important five.

Also, you are to sign on to wikipedia and change as much stuff as you can. Just kidding about that one. (Or am I?)

Hey gang,

At this point, you should be done at least sources A-D. Remember to pull out specific facts, not just general impressions.

Also, we are starting the Slavery Debatetomorrow.

If you need a copy of those abolitionist notes, there you go.

See yesterday’s post for any other documents you might need.

Hey gang,

I am going to post a whole bunch of stuff that you may or may not need. However, I cannot post Jourdan Anderson (but a quick google search should let you find it), Jermain Wesley Loguen, or Harriet Jacobs, since they were copied from books. Source A also cannot be copied because it is too big.

Everything else I am probably breaking copyright laws on, so don’t tell on me.

Here we go:
abolitionist notes–Notes on the abolitionists from the group presentations.
Five primary source questions–The common worksheet for the first few primary sources.
William Lloyd Garrison–The Liberator
James Henry Hammond–The slave-owner source.
Source B–The Broadside
Source C–Phebe Browning letter
Source D–Excerpt 1 from speech
Source E–Excerpt 2 from speech
Source F–Solomon Northup chapter from autobiography
Source G and HGreat Depression interviews of former slaves

First packet worksheet–Sources A-F
Second packet worksheetSource G-H

FIRSTLY, your homework:

Book 9, Chapter 33 “Forgetting the Constitution”

Question, to be answered in one complete paragraph:
Why were the Japanese Americans interned during World War II, and what was the effect on the Japanese-Americans themselves?

SECONDLY:
Here is some old stuff I meant to put up…
Syllabus we are using
Textbook worksheet and rubric
First page of example chapter
Page 2-4 of example textbook chapter

Hope that helps.

Maya has given me a D- for my website updating, and I would say she is accurate.

I cannot put up the sources for the project, since those were photocopied, but I will put up the project page and textbook chapter soon.

As for the pics people need:
They are too big to put on MrGreiner.com…so annoying…Email me and I will send them to you. Sorry.

Since it is Passover, there has not been any homework for Social Studies class. However, I thought I would post recent stuff just in case you needed it.

1. That essay that we are doing.
At this point, 7G should be done their outlines and 7S should be starting them. This was going to be homework, but I forgot about Passover. Therefore, 7S will have them be due on Thursday. If you need a copy: Essay Worksheet. If you need any copies of how to make an outline, etc, check with the Expository Writing Guide PDF.

2. Teaching about slavery:
This project should be finished in class only. 7G will begin presentations tomorrow, and 7S will begin them on Thursday. The project has students teaching about four different aspects of slavery and also a presentation on different types of abolitionists. The goal is to understand the different types of slavery that each region produced, and how the enviroment and crops greatly affected the lives of the slaves. PDF’s are below:
