Orientación para padres
We will deal with hard history topics such as resedential schools, internment camps (Japanese and Nazi), racism related violence, such as the Selma Voting Rights March and Tulsa Massacre. We will learn to think critically about these events and after reading about them from carefully selected literature, we will use them as a jumping off point for essay writing of various types.
