We covered the internment of Japanese-Canadians today in class by watching "Tides of War" and completing a film study sheet. I will also be sending you a PowerPoint presentation on the internment as well this afternoon. I really recommend that you check out some of the Social 20-1 links here on the blog regarding the internment of Japanese-Canadians, for example the CBC News Archive feature called "Relocation to Redress" is excellent. Make sure that you are reviewing for your Chapter 5-6 Test, which is on Tuesday (please see the study guide here).
