I want the students in my class to learn from history, to understand that there are many things from the past that should never be repeated, especially times when citizens and immigrant residents of the US were denied civil liberties and rights. The focus of my project is to teach my class about the dark chapter in US history when Japanese Americans and people with Japanese ancestry were unjustly incarcerated. Through their study, they will learn it was undeniably wrong and should not be seen as a precedent for similar harm against other groups of people. It is imperative that our children, our future, work to ensure injustices like the incarceration of Japanese Americans never happen again. My main focus with this project is to receive funding for a class set of novels and a variety of other books. Along with the books, I am requesting six Kindle Fire tablets so groups of students can go on the Internet to find and research images and other primary source materials. I will also teach using curriculum and resources from Densho, an organization that documents first-hand accounts of the incarceration of Japanese Americans. With this knowledge, my students will be more informed as they strive for social justice and work to fight intolerance and try to right the wrongdoings of the past.
