1) Find a valid and reliable website(as discussed in class) that is directly connected to his/her group's topic and not listed by any other student. 2) Link that website to this wikki under the correct topic. 3) Below their link, use their own words to describe at least three subtopics their website covers in connection to the group's main topic. 4) Below the the three subtopics, use their own words to describe and explain at least three concepts they learned from the website __they didn't know before and/or covered in the textbook__(pages 591-595).Earn more points for sharing on how the concept changed your understanding of the concept, event, or time period. 5) Earn more points for adding an image/picture that is directly to your subtopic and not used by other students. 6) We will do one link together, so that students know how to do the assignment.
 * Directions** - Students will be assigned to one of six groups listed below. Each person needs to do the following:

Groups: A) Women Workers B) Farmers C) Families D) African Americans E) Mexican Americans F) Japanese Americans

Women Workers 1) [|Women and WW II] A) The subtopics of this website include: Women in the Military,Women and WWII, Camp Hale, and WAC detachment. B) I learned that skilled female workers earned 42 percent less per week in 1944 than a skilled male worker, which could be an indication of discrimination against the ladies. I discovered that surveys showed 47 to 68 percent of the women workers who were married desired to retain their jobs once the war stopped, which could indicate that most married women really enjoyed working outside the house. From 1940-44 87.9 percent of women with children younger than 10 didn't work outside the home, which makes me wonder if they didn't work because they didn't need the money, felt pressured to stay at home, or for some other reason.

Farmers

Families

African Americans

Mexican Americans
