You are to create a brief summary of evidence (Section B) from the Pearl Harbor Paper 1 Packet. (This packet can also be found in your WWII folder that I've shared with you. Titled: Pearl Harbor Paper 1)
From the I.B. description of the summary of evidence: "[It] should indicate what the student has found out from the sources he or she has used." It will take the form a bullet-pointed list.
The IA question: Using the documents and your own knowledge assess the state of diplomatic relations between Japan and the U.S. in 1941.
DIRECTIONS: Based on this question, create a bullet-pointed list of evidence from each document. List the evidence under each document ID. You are NOT to answer the question. Simply list the evidence. Copy and paste the following into your blog. Title: Japan and U.S. Relations in 1941 Labels: Pearl_Harbor, WWII, FDR, Japan, This is due at the beginning of class on Friday.
