Description
Use this interactive activity to engage students with the history of Japanese American internment during WWII. Students will view a diverse set of artifacts, including paintings, a variety of oral history interview transcripts, image sets, letters from Japanese Americans held in internment camps, and newspaper coverage of internment.
As they go, students will answer a few questions for each primary source--analyzing the history of discriminatory treatment toward Japanese Americans in the 1940s.
Google Drive Folder includes:
- Set of 16 stations featuring primary sources from Japanese American Internment (Google Slides, fully editable) (+PDF that preserves formatting)
- Student handout with corresponding questions for each station (Google Docs, fully editable) (+ PDF that preserves formatting)
- Teacher Directions
CHECK OUT THE PREVIEW!
Artifacts cover:
- Japanese American reactions to Pearl Harbor
- Evacuation notices & Japanese American reactions
- Forced relocation and life in internment camps
- Racist attitudes toward Japanese Americans
- Korematsu v. United States
- Reparations and the Civil Liberties Act of 1987
Possible ways to use this activity:
- Gallery Walk/Stations Activity (Students walk around and view the stations as if they were in a museum!)
- Small group/partner work (Students view a packet of the artifacts and collaborate to complete the handout.)
- Jigsaw (Students become experts on one or two topics and teach a small group.)
- Teacher-Led/Whole-Class activity (Go over the stations as a whole class.)
- Post electronically (Have students complete individually.)
Japanese American internment is one example of the discriminatory treatment Asian Americans faced during World War II. I use this gallery walk activity in my American History course to promote understanding of the discrimination and dehumanization of Japanese Americans during this time.
