Photos of the Japenese Internment in the U.S. during WW2
Lange also photographed FDR’s Japanese Concentration Camps
The military seized her photographs, quietly depositing them in the National Archives, where they remained mostly unseen and unpublished until 2006. Read about that in the article below and look at the photographs in the slideshow above.

...OR there's this: a few books and movies have come up in discussions (some in one class, others in another class). They are listed below. If you want to find out more about one of them, and can fit it into one of your WW2 Reading Worksheet's categories, go for it; treat is as an article like those above. Look for a review of the movie and/or any other articles about it that you can find. List the information about them. If you can do so, in addition to reading an article or review about it, watch the trailer for a movie as well. Describe the mood/tone of the movie that comes across from the trailer, and give examples/details from the trailer that get across that mood.
BUT, no more than 3 movies, overall.

2 Websites for how to cite sources and list them at the end of your paper (in a bibliography):
Purdue Online Writing Lab (the nickname for that cite is OWL, from 'Online Writing Lab')
There are MANY resouces and examples there for how to cite and list sources. At Pioneer, in Social Studies classes, we use the MLA rules. Here is a page on the OWL that lets you (1) select a TYPE of source (article, website, video, etc.) and (2) plug in the URL (web address) for a source, and get a listing of that source for your bibliography. You can just copy and paste it at the end of you paper (after thw 2 pages that you write).
Another website that does the same thing is, Easybib.com. Same 2 steps there: choose the type of source, plug in the URL.
If those don't automaticall work with a source, they guide you through entering the information about the source.
