The Japanese-Americans During WWII: DBQs and Primary Sources *APUSH*

By Christa Nonnemaker

This 25-page resource with 15 primary sources plus a DBQ question gives students a chance to delve deeper into the experiences of Japanese-Americans during World War II, both in internment camps and outside of internment camps. Many students know that Japanese-Americans from the West Coast were interned. Here’s a chance to read documents that shed light on how the decision was made, whether the racial prejudices were shared among all Americans, how Japanese-Americans contributed outside the camps, and how re-integration was perceived. The Japanese-American experience went far beyond their internment in the camps.

Assign just one, a few or all of the sources depending on time constraints and student interest.

Primary Sources include:
*Customer Complaint and Restaurant Owner’s Response
*Transcript from a Meeting in General DeWitt’s Office, January 1942
* Excerpt from Executive Order 9066, February 1942
*Evacuation Notice Number 9, April 1942
*Images from Evacuation and Assembly Center
*Letter from Internee to Former Middle School Teacher, September 1942
*Excerpt of Congressional Report of Dies Committee, August 1943
*Photographs of Life inside the Internment Camp
*Resolution by the Native Sons of the Golden West, Santa Cruz Parlor, April 1944
*Photographs of Contributions by Japanese-Americans
*Letter Insert by Assistant Director of War Relocation Authority, January 1946

Included is a one-page sheet that explains what primary sources are and how to analyze them using specific questions through a process called HAPPY. Primary sources include letters, photos, reports and other documents. Each page of primary sources includes questions. There is also a page at the end for students to apply the HAPPY process to one source. Two DBQ prompts are included at the end. An Answer Key to all the questions and the DBQ prompts are available at the end of the packet.

This is excellent practice for all high school students, particularly Honors and AP students, but all students will find these resources engaging.

This is also available as a digital resource through Easel so students may complete it online.

ELA Book for Student Writing/Grammar/Editing - Workbook

By Blooming Through High School

Perfect for learners who have IEP's requiring class notes, correctly completed examples, and graphic organizers.

I was tired of writing things on the board over and over again. I was tired of printing out pages that students threw away. I was also tired of answering questions that students could find for themselves. So I made a book to make sure I wouldn't have to anymore.

Over the course of 2 months, I thought of everything that I would have to teach, explain, write examples of, and print, and I put all my tips and tricks into ONE BOOK. I printed this out and spiral bound all the pages for each of my students. Every time my students ask me to repeat something, I point them to the book.

I also use this in my class for reference during specific lessons as well. It's a game changer! I save time and I save my sanity.

It's the MOST helpful for all the little pieces students need to know for all the stages of writing: brainstorming, pre-writing, paragraphs, citations, plagiarism, and much, much more.

Sections:

  • Revising & Editing
  • Fiction
  • Non-fiction
  • Writing
  • Graphic Organizers & Notes
  • Index

It would be amazing to leave with a sub!

It is a printable document on 8.5" x 11" paper.

Here's what you'll find included in this resource that's carefully curated for your middle school French learners.

  • "Réflexion" - 3 separate reflection prompts which can be used as a small writing assessment. These reflections foster higher-level thinking and will have your students thinking about culture, inclusivity, and Halloween's historical changes that have occurred through time.

Included in this research description is a presentation opportunity and success criteria are also included.
  • "Les origines historiques et l'importance culturelle d'Halloween" - A short reading comprehension piece which has questions to verify understanding.
  • "Testez vos connaissances" - A short two-page assessment on general Halloween history.

If you're looking into trying our a project- and inquiry-based approach in your classroom, I recommend trying any of the following resources:

  • Un avenir durable (imports, exports and energy - A sustainable future.)
  • Dragon's Den - Dans l'oeil du dragon! (Lead a Dragon's den in your classroom!)
  • Mon espèce en voie de disparition (An artsy approach to endangered species)

By Catholic Kids

Do your students know how to read Roman Numerals? This engaging worksheet introduces Roman Numerals and how they relate to the history of the Catholic Pope, the papacy, and religion. Designed for religious education classes, Catholic schools, and Church History lessons, this resource equips students to read important historical texts without stumbling over dates, centuries, or the Roman numeral names of Popes.

Product Features:

  • Roman Numerals Overview – Clear, easy-to-follow instructions for reading and writing Roman Numerals, from I to M.
  • Practice Sections – Hands-on exercises allow students to apply their understanding of Roman Numerals, reinforcing their ability to recognize years, papal numbers, and religious dates.
  • Connecting Roman Numerals to the Catholic Pope Tradition – The worksheet ends with exercises on reading and understanding the Roman Numeral names used by Popes, such as Pope John Paul II or Pope Benedict XVI, highlighting how Roman Numerals are part of the Catholic papacy tradition.

Uses in the Classroom:

  • Religious Education – Essential for helping students read Catholic history texts, papal documents, and timelines of the Church with confidence.
  • Church History Lessons – Provides a quick introduction to Roman Numerals as used in the names of Catholic Popes, helping students connect historical figures like Pope Gregory XIII and Pope John XXIII to the broader timeline of the papacy.
  • Catholic Schools and Homeschooling – Ideal for reinforcing both Roman Numeral skills and an understanding of the tradition within Catholicism of Popes adopting numeral titles to honor their predecessors.

Benefits of Teaching Roman Numerals in Religious Studies:

  • Cultural and Historical Awareness – Understanding Roman Numerals is essential for navigating centuries of religious and world history, from important Church councils to significant papal events.
  • Deepens Connection to Tradition – Popes have used Roman Numerals for centuries to distinguish themselves, creating a lineage that reflects continuity and respect within the papacy. Teaching Roman Numerals helps students appreciate this tradition and identify each Pope’s place in history.
  • Skill-Building – Roman Numeral proficiency supports broader numeracy skills, helping students interpret timelines, years, and formal documents in religion and beyond.

This worksheet is an ideal resource for students of all ages to strengthen their reading of Roman Numerals while deepening their understanding of the Catholic Pope, papacy traditions, and religious history. It offers a practical way to bring Church history to life, encouraging students to appreciate the role of Roman Numerals in religious and cultural heritage.
