Following the attack by the Japanese at Pearl Harbor, racism and fear drove the government to issue Executive Order 9066 forcing over a hundred thousand Japanese Americans into internment camps across the country. Today we debated the decision FDR made in ordering this relocation by looking at primary sources and evaluating them as historians. *If you were absent* Come see me for the assignment you missed. Because it requires resources to complete, you will have to come in during AIP or before or after school to make it up in my classroom. Notes are attached below:
Despite America's best efforts to remain neutral, President Roosevelt recognized our need to help the Allied nations as Germany's power grew stronger. He slowly chipped away at the Neutrality legislation in an attempt to strengthen the democratic nations of the world. Simultaneously, Japanese aggression grew in the Pacific leading to the "day of infamy," December 7, 1941. America was attacked. War was at hand. Notes are attached below
Once again, when world war broke out, America remained neutral hoping to avoid getting into the conflict. Despite their best efforts, it was only a matter of time before the "sleeping giant" woke up! Today we did an inquiry lesson that required you to be the historian and analyze primary documents that depict America's stance leading up to the war.
If you were absent - come see me for the work. NO NOTES TODAY! With the world in economic downturn, citizens in many nations were ready for a leader who would promise change. In our country, FDR was chosen with his promise of a New Deal. However, in other not so fortunate countries, the promise of a better future came at a great cost. Today we will examine the circumstances that brought about the beginning of WWII, the rise of Hitler and his domination of Europe. The power point is attached below. (Just copy the underlined portions)

As the Great Depression rolled on year after year, various strategies were taken to fix this economic crisis. None were as vast and sweeping as President Roosevelt's New Deal. Today, you were given a job, similar to Americans under the New Deal, to help contribute to the cleanliness, happiness and success of our class as we studied this piece of legislation. Bravo to our musical, artistic, creative and clean classmates! Notes are attached below. *If you were absent - Go to the following website: http://www.ushistory.org/us/49g.asp Read the short summary of the New Deal and create a chart explaining the positive and negative aspects of the New Deal. Be thorough. You should have several items on both sides of your list.
The Great Depression caused a dark cloud to loom over our country for nearly a decade. It is difficult for us, in our modern age of convenience and prosperity, to truly understand what it must have been like. We watched a segment from the movie, "Cinderella Man" which brings this part of American history to life. If you were absent: If you can find a copy of "Cinderella Man" watch the first hour of the film and write a one page summary of how Jimmy's family was impacted by the Depression - OR - Watch the film below of personal stories from the Great Depression and write a one page summary of how people were impacted by the Depression. The 1920's was a decade of fun and carefree spending. The economy was booming, however, America was unaware of the severe financial flaws that would soon cause the greatest economic crisis in American history - the Stock Market Crash of 1929. Today we learned about the stock market and what caused it's fall. If you were absent: Notes are below
