//"Hopefully, people will learn from this unfortunate episode in our history. People are people; judge them as individuals, not by race, color, or creed."// Reiko Oshima Komoto // "We have no common race in this country, but we have an ideal to which all of us are loyal: we cannot progress if we look down upon any group of people amongst us because of race or religion. Every citizen in this country has a right to our basic freedoms, to justice and to equality of opportunity. We retain the right to lead our individual lives as we please, but we can only do so if we grant to others the freedoms that we wish for ourselves." ~ Eleanor Roosevelt after visiting the Gila River Internment Camp in AZ //

**Task One:** Visit the following websites:
 * [|Children of the Camps]

After visiting the websites, please answer the following questions on a separate piece of paper: 1. How many camps were there? 2. For the Arizona and Utah camps, how many Japanese-Americans were at each? 3. As a group decide upon which camp you want to learn more about, and then find the following information: From the information you learned, create a journal or diary about life in an internment camp. Please post your diary/journal in the class wiki. You may take on a nom de plume if you would like anonymity (just make sure you give me your alias so you receive credit for your work). With your original group, using the information you collected, create an interactive map about your camp. You can use SmartDraw to help you. This program will let you create web links to pictures or videos on TeacherTube or YouTube that are relevant to your internment camp. Remember to include the statistics, what daily life was like as well as the living conditions. Feel free to include other information that your group feels is important so we can all learn more about this topic.
