American+Groups+on+the+Homefront+During+WWII

__//**Discussion of the war effort at home and experiences of different groups of Americans during WWII.**//__ For this "jigsaw" activity, you will research one of the following groups of Americans to discover what their experiences during World War II were "on the home front." I have provided you with some links which may be of help in conducting your research, however, feel free to use other outside sources as well. The groups are: [|Jewish-Americans I] [|Jewish-Americans II] (The most pertinent info is at the top of pg. 2) [|African-Americans I] (Use info from the slides as a springboard for further research) [|African-Americans II] [|Extra - African-Americans in WWII] [|Native Americans I] [|Native Americans II] [|American Women] American Women II

[|WWII & the American Home Front] --- This document is great (and thorough!) for learning about WWII & the American Home Front.

You will have 30 minutes for researching/preparation. You should be prepared to talk to a small group of people for about 5 minutes about your topic. Each group should have several pictures and at least one primary written source for teaching others about your topic. Have fun!

At the end of this, you will add your first entry to a new journal. Here are the instructions/prompts:
 * Create a new Google Doc in your Google Folder titled "(Class Name) Semester Two Journal - (Your Name)."
 * Here is the prompt/title: **Which of these groups had the "best" experience during World War II and which one had the "worst" experience? Why?**(Note: I expect at least one paragraph when discussing each of the groups. Yes, that means you'll be writing at least two paragraphs for this journal!)
 * __Before__ writing the 2 paragraphs, be sure to do the following: Put the link for the primary source YOUR group used in preparing for the presentation at the top of the journal entry AND write a one sentence description of that primary source. After this, you may write your two paragraphs.
