    The document provides information about a lesson plan on Japanese internment camps during World War II. It includes background information on Executive Order 9066 and the relocation of Japanese Americans, a video about reactions to the internment camps, and an independent reading activity and worksheet about life in the camps. The teacher was surprised many students did not know about the internment and that the goal was to highlight the difficult conditions Japanese Americans faced for up to 2.5 years in the camps. Student discussions showed they grasped that internment based on race is wrong and could apply that lesson today.
