If you are looking for an activity for elementary students to jump start a unit on Japanese internment, we recommend My Dog Teny, by Yoshito Wayne Osaki. This true story about a boy and his dog and the friendship they shared will provide young readers with an understanding of personal loss.
A team of 4th grade Elk Grove Unified School District teachers have used technology tools and this short, but gripping, story to empower their students as “change writers.” To learn more about their project, please watch the video below.
