farewell to manzanar Newspaper
(CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.8.8
Gather relevant information from multiple print and digital sources, using search terms effectively; assess the credibility and accuracy of each source; and quote or paraphrase the data and conclusions of others while avoiding plagiarism and following a standard format for citation.
1. This assignment meets the standard because in this assignment, we had to get information about certain topics that are based on Manzanar. For instance, we had to find some information about the struggles at Manzanar and the daily life there. Also, of course, we had to cite from our sources so that we can support what we presented. The evidence also gives credit to the source. I avoided plagiarism by not copying and pasting, and by finding synonyms for words and rephrasing it into my own sentence in which I can understand.
2. One skill that I developed from this work was putting the information in my own words. I understood what I wrote while putting it in my own words. To add on this skill, I didn't copy the information. This will help me later on in college since I'll have to do research papers.
3. One way in which I could improve my work on this assignment is making one section longer( the section I want to improve on was the Interview section). I could have made it into a 2-3 page form since usual interviews are long. My interview was pretty short and in it, there were just a couple questions. This will help me later on in being to expand and write more information in future assignments.
4. I can apply this to the real world because I can learn from this. Since I know that the Japanese were interned because of their race , I can learn not to judge people and I should know who they really are. All people are treated equally no matter what. No one should repeat this mistake. We ALL know that the Americans made a big mistake.
