Class Assignment

Lesson Plan
Create a blog entry in response to the following prompt: Given the links and readings, do you feel the issue of racism towards Asians is successfully being dealt with. Why or why not?

This should be about 3 paragraphs, using at least 2 citations (can be from the material provided)

Some Materials to help you get started:

Itunes- The Fallout Central Podcast (subscribe and listen to the podcast to get a decent understanding of the show)
at least one blog from a peer (it doesn't matter what class)- http://pinghong.blogspot.com/ (mike hong)
at least one blog from outside our class- http://sgrp.typepad.com/sgrp/2008/10/racism-xenophob.html
give a list of sources for your 'student' to peruse through on your delicious site. These sources can be articles, other blogs, pictures, youtube videos,etc. I would create a specific tag to make it easy to search through-saxoncedars and asian-american
at least one source from the school databases-http://www.questiaschool.com/read/5000102736?title=Asian%20Americans%20and%20Racial%20Identity%3a%20Dealing%20with%20Racism%20and%20Snowballs (Asian Americans and Racial Identity: Dealing with Racism and Snowballs.
by Alvin N. Alvarez , Erin F. Kimura) journal
at least four interesting quotes from the novel (it is up to you how you share them - on your blog, google docs...)
1) When they looked out into the whiteness of the world the wind flung it sharply at their narrowed eyes and foreshortened their view of everything.
2) “I'm talking about people . . . who can do things because they run newspapers or arrest people or convict them or decide about their lives. People don't have to be unfair, do they?”
3) “There are things in this universe that we cannot control, and then there are the things we can. . . . Let fate, coincidence, and accident conspire; human beings must act on reason.”
4) No, it would not surprise Sergeant Maples to hear that Kabuo Miyamoto had killed a man with a fishing gaff.
