Please help with this history assignment. I don't exactly understand what it's asking or how to answer it. :( You will use your knowledge of the treatment of minority groups in the United States during World War I and your familiarity with social media such as Facebook and Twitter to complete the assignment for this lesson. Please review the sample Social Media Page. Use the Native American postings as an example to create two posts from the perspective of each of the following groups: • German Americans • Jewish Americans • Asian Americans • Hispanic Americans • Women • Dissenters Your posts should address the following questions: • How was this group treated by the U.S government during World War I? • How was this group treated by other Americans during World War I? • What was the reaction of the group to the way they were treated? • How did World War I change the way these groups live in the United States?
Okay, so from this list you want to make two Facebook or Twitter type statuses for each of them. • German Americans • Jewish Americans • Asian Americans • Hispanic Americans • Women • Dissenters The only way that you can really do this is by putting yourself into their shoes. A lot of people on Facebook complain, right? Well your teacher wants you to pretend like you're a German and a Jewish and an Asian during the time of World War I. What do you think their Facebook statuses would say about how people were treating them? For example, pretending that you were a woman during this time.. you would want to make two statuses that both have all of this included: • How was this group treated by the U.S government during World War I? • How was this group treated by other Americans during World War I? • What was the reaction of the group to the way they were treated? • How did World War I change the way these groups live in the United States? So, You could put something like this: "Today my husband went off to war. I know that it is to help our country, but I don't know how I'm going to be able to handle raising our children and making money to support us. This war is changing the way America looks at us. Us women have had no other choice but to fill the position of our husbands and sons. Maybe when the war is through, the women of this nation will gain the respect we deserve because so far, we are nothing more than care takers. We know that we deserve better, we are no less than any man. Maybe now that we are looked upon to keep this country running, things will change. Only time will tell." Basically, They are short diary entries, and if you get into it, it can be fun. You can do these from all kinds of perspectives like a child, or a mom like I did, or a man of different origin that wants to fight along with America but can't because America doesn't trust him. I really hope this helps. I really wish my teacher would've done this assignment, actually. If you need anything else or would like me to clear something up, just let me know(:
