1. 1. Do you agree or disagree that President Franklin D.
Roosevelt made the correct decision by relocating
the Japanese people to the internment camps? Use
the context of the families from the stories, “The
Bracelet” and “Journey to Topaz.” Write a formal
letter, in which you clearly state a claim supporting
or going against FDR’s decision. Support that claim
with evidence from the texts. Be sure to:
Introduce the claim and organize the reasons
and evidence clearly.
Support claims with clear reasons and relevant
evidence, using credible sources and
demonstrating an understanding of the topic or
text.
Use words, phrases and clauses to clarify the
relationships among claims and reasons, such
as: for example, for instance, in addition,
moreover, etc.
Maintain the formal style of an argument
Provide a concluding statement or section that
follows from the argument presented.
Quote directly from the texts
