Closing/Student Reflection/Real-life connections:
From looking at the primary sources from the Pearl Harbor time period we can see that families were taken from
their homes and their lives were turned upside down. Today, that still happens to some families. We need to be
respectful of everyone and understand that we are all going through something and we are all the same.
