New Online Lesson Plans



Greetings,

Three lesson plans produced by the Institute on Primary Resources are now
available online <http://ipr.ues.gseis.ucla.edu/classroom/lessons.html>. The
units deal with the Japanese American internment during World War II.  The
units are document based and are designed to be used in U.S. History classes
as well as other social studies courses. The lesson plans are for elementary,
middle and high school classes.

The lesson plans are based around the artwork of Estelle Ishigo, an artist
and European American wife of a Japanese American interned at Heart Mountain
Relocation Camp during World War II.  The lesson plans allow students to
grapple with challenging and relevant topics such as the power of art,
prejudice versus tolerance and what it means to be an American.
