8th Grade LA- Wednesday, April 13
*Please read the entire post including reminders at the bottom.

Please complete the following agenda (self-paced).

First:
Do Now (on your loose-leaf like normal):

Combine each set of sentences two different ways. Give the two sentences completely different beginnings. Use conjunctions, insert words or phrases, add commas or semicolons, or change the forms of words. In addition, add at least one meaningful adjective or adverb and underline those words.

I played with the boomerang all afternoon. My sister played with it all afternoon, too. We had a lot of fun.

We both tried hard. She couldn’t get it to return to her. I couldn’t get it to return to me.

Our fun ended. I somehow managed to land the boomerang. I landed it high up in an oak tree.

There were once many kinds of sequoias. Today only two kinds remain. They are the redwood and the giant sequoia.

Then:
- Google Docs
- create a document called quiz.4.13.manzanar and share it with acollopy@mssd14.org
- use your study guide for chapter 6 to answer questions 27-31
- answer in complete sentences (most answers will be multiple sentences)


Next:
- Use the following link to take the virtual tour of Manzanar. Visit each location. Each image can be manipulated 360 degrees.

http://www.nps.gov/archive/manz/virtualtour/tour/map.html

*On your Google Doc (- Google Docs) reflection for today (share with acollopy@mssd14.org), write a few sentences that describe the setting of Manzanar. What strikes you, surprises you, etc.? Name your Google Doc: LastName.Manzanar.4.13. I will not grade un-named documents.

After that:
In 1948 Congress passed a law that reimbursed internees for property losses and that 40 years later Congress awarded restitution payments of $20,000 to each survivor of the camps through the Civil Liberties Act of 1988 (H.R. 442). Research one of these two acts of Congress using internet resources. Locate three different sources, list bibliographic information about each (copy and paste the url onto your document), indicate whether the sources were in favor or against the reparations, and explain how you can tell. Write one paragraph (take a position) on whether the reparations were fair, sufficient, etc. for the survivors. Add this to your Google Doc.

Note: The text of H.R. 442 is available by searching the Library of Congress's Thomas web site

Finally:

Three individuals legally challenged the constitutionality of the relocation and curfew orders. Research one of these three court cases and write a one paragraph summary of their arguments, who was involved in their cases, and the results of the cases. Include this paragraph in your on-going document from the virtual tour, the position paragraph, and then this short summary of the constitutional challenges.
