Monday, Feb. 10 Objective: Today we will investigate and describe the role and sacrifices of members of the American armed forces on D-Day and the WWII in Europe by taking notes and investigation different “fronts” of WWII. Agenda: Warm Up U.S. Prepares for War on the Home front V-E Day Holocaust What did you learn in school

Warm Up Green Desk: Clean Up Orange Desk: Gather Materials Pink Desk: Recorder Yellow Desk: Gather Handouts 1.Who are the members of the Big Three? 2.What is an example of a change that occurred on the Homefront during WWII? 3.Why did the US Gov. detain 127,000 Japanese Americans in Interment Camps?

The Homefront After Pearl Harbor, many Americans came to fear that another attack was imminent on American soil. Fear, not facts, cause the American government to contain 127,000 Japanese- American citizens in internment camps. Internment Camps: a prison camp for the confinement of enemy aliens, prisoners of war, political prisoners.

The Homefront Based on these pictures and what you know, what was the opinion of Japanese-Americans?

The Homefront Much like WWI, many Americans enlisted in the military, leaving their daily jobs behind. Women stepped in to fill the void and keep making bullets, tanks, planes, and other necessities. It was a combined effort for everyone. Dad went to war, Mom went to work, and the kids rationed their food for soldiers overseas.
