Test set for Friday, May 27

Students will be given a test on Friday, May 27. Students need to study/review the following:

1. Notes taken from Powerpoint titled "Great Depression"...these were some basics about the Great Depression...why did it occur, who did it affect, etc...

2. Notes taken---"Positives about the Great Depression"...these were very brief and centered on three positive occurences during the Great Depression in California---the 1932 summer Olympics in Los Angeles, the building of Coit Tower in San Francisco, and the building/completion of Hoover Dam on the Colorado River.

3. The questions answered from the reading about John Steinbeck, famous California-born author and Pulitzer Prize winner.

4. Notes taken during the video about the making of the Golden Gate Bridge, a technological wonder of it's time! Nobody thought it could be done!

5. Notes taken from Powerpoint titled "Executive Order 9066, Japanese Internment"...these notes centered on Franklin Delano Roosevelt's decision to sign Executive Order 9066, thus authorizing the removal and internment of all Japanese living on the west coast of the United States. This applied to both "Issei" and "Nisei," and meant that many Japanese would spend the next several years behind barbed-wire fences it remotely located internment camps.

6. Notes taken from overhead titled "Korematsu and Compensation." These notes centered on Fred Korematsu, a U.S. born Japanese civilian who refused to leave the designated military area and was subsequently arrested, charged, and sent to an internment camp. Fred appealed the decison but lost, but there was some positive to this. Also, compensation to each living former internee in 1988 was a formal apology and a $20,000 payment from the U.S. Government, approved by Congress.

7. Questions copied and answered using the textbook. These were the 12 quesions titled "Wartime and Peacetime" which centered on California's population increase during the war years and California's conversion from a peace-to-wartime economy.

Students may see me during brunch or lunch if there are any questions!

Good luck!
