This lesson on Japanese American Internment in WW2 is a fantastic resource to teach students all about this dark period in US History.

The lesson provides students important background information to help them understand the lead-up to Japanese internment. This includes sources on California's Alien Land Law and other important events in the years before World War 2.

Then, there are a variety of primary sources that students analyze either at stations, in groups, or individually. These include Executive Order 9066, Issei and Nisei removal and incarceration, Manzanar and the camps, life in the internment camps, Fred Korematsu and his Supreme Court case Korematsu v. United States, life after the camps, and more.

All of the following are included with the download:
