Monday 3/5

It's our last week of Learning Target 1!!!!
[I can assess the social, political, economic, and military conflicts that faced the "Greatest Generation."]

Today we did a carousel reading protocol where we read 4 different documents that outlined the experiences of black soldiers during World War II.

If you were absent, CLICK HERE for those documents.

Homework: Write 1 page using at least 20 of your MCTs (highlight or underline them) responding to the following prompt: From the perspective of a black soldier fighting in WWII, write a LETTER to President Roosevelt explaining 

1) the struggles facing you and your fellow African-American soldiers, 

2) what needs to change 

3) why this should matter to white Americans as well (who at the time made up 89.8% of the US population, vs. only 9.8% being black). 

Please identify your 20 words by either highlighting, underlining, or bolding the terms.

It's MARCH!
