Final Final Takaki post
For my final teaching method, I would have students read his description of the response taken by the United States towards Japanese Americans during WWII. In particular, I would have students focus on the placement of hundreds of thousands of Japanese Americans in internment camps and the general racism directed towards Japanese Americans. I would then have students read articles describing what Arab/Muslum Americans experienced during 9/11 . After reading the accounts from Arab/Musum Americans, I would have students compare/contrast the expereinces between Japanese Americans during WWII and Arab/Muslum Americans after 9/11. I would then have students answer the question about do Americans, in general, act with such racism during horrific events and what, if anything, can be done to prevent further episodes.
