Roni Jones' 20th Century American History
Reading Selectively
Tuesday, May 27th, 2008Read selectively through the volume. Try to looking at a variety of selections - poetry, journal entries, photo essays, letters, etc. Spend enough time to become comfortable with the book but reserve close reading for the next two weeks.
Are there any surprises? Spend some time thinking about the types of sources that are included or not included. Which entries grab your attention? Why?

I found the poetry most surprising. At first I wondered why it was included, especially the haiku which seemed to have no particular historical relevance. Then I began to realize that the poetry gave a really intimate look at the emotions of the internees, at their pain, but also at their attempts to find beauty, peace, even sense in all the chaos and disruption they lived through.

I like how there is such a variety of sources. I am especially drawn to the photos and drawings. I feel they are such a reflection of the human experience. Those are the "lessons" that the students and teachers can relate to and find interesting. I find it very frustrating that the state standards do not reflect the "human experience" much past a mere mention.
