Description
In this ARTSEDGE lesson, students come to understand a somber period in American history. During World War II the U.S. government ordered more than 120,000 Japanese Americans to detainment camps--the only reason given: being Japanese American. Drawing upon research and analyzing a variety of sources--including the historical novel "The Journal of Ben Uchida," firsthand accounts, government documents, and select portions of the Bill of Rights to the U.S. Constitution--students write dramatic monologues that testify to the injustice of this period.
