Utah Studies-Monday, April 28, 2008

Today in Periods 1-4, 6 we began a thorough investigation into the events that lead to the decision to imprison virtually all Japanese-Americans during World War II.  Students were "hired" by the US government to work on "committees" that were to conduct their investigations by looking at primary source documents and by interviewing key witnesses to the events.  DUE TOMORROW: Nothing, but there is a learning center check for 15 points scheduled for Friday! Also, if you have a late assignment to turn in (not counting learning centers) it MUST be turned in by Friday or else it won't be accepted!

Today in Period 5 we began to examine how Utahns ended up fighting in World War II.  We looked into the root causes that lead to Pearl Harbor.  Then students also learned about how Utah contributed to the US war effort.  DUE TOMORROW: Nothing, but there is a learning center check for 10 points scheduled for Friday! Also, if you have a late assignment to turn in (not counting learning centers) it MUST be turned in by Friday or else it won't be accepted!
