10.03 - Fish Bowl Discussion - Internment Camps

We started today's class out by reviewing the work that has gone on over the course of the last three days with the substitute. Everyone shared out their reactions to the work associated with the Japanese internment camp articles and the article "The Case Against High School Sports."

Following these share outs, we did a quick write on the following prompt:

Was it hypocritical of America to go to war against Germany for putting German Jews (and others) in concentration camps, while America was putting Japanese-Americans into internment camps?

Perspectives and questions surfaced in the quick write went in to being fuel for a fish bowl discussion. We reviewed the general format of a fish bowl discussion and how this discussion would be evaluated (using the standard description below for a "meets" or "3").

We will continue to discuss this topic a little more next class.

Homework:

If you have yet to complete any of the readings or reading questions from Monday (09.30) to Wednesday (10.02 / yesterday), do so for homework.
