Trauma can result when a group of people are forced away from their schools, friends, businesses/work, neighborhoods/communities, then incarcerated without due process, under difficult conditions. Students explore how historical and traumatic events such as Japanese American incarceration affect communities for the long term and how communities have worked to heal.
Note: This is not a ‘typical’ social studies lesson on Japanese American incarceration. It will involve working with material regarding trauma.
