Description
In this lesson, from the New York Times Learning Network, students examine the causes and effects of the internment of 120,000 Japanese-Americans during World War II. Students develop research questions examining the historic, legal, and psychological impacts of the internment camps. They then investigate the answers through a focused research project. The results of their research become part of a class-wide exhibit on this tragedy in American history.
