This workshop, hosted at the East-West Center and the USS Arizona Memorial (the national historic site commemorating the Pearl Harbor attack), explores the "living history" of Pearl Harbor and Hawai'i within the context of U.S.-Japan relations and helps make connections between the methods of public history and classroom applications. Participants will use site visits, workshop content, and primary source materials, including personal narratives, veteran survivor stories, photographs, and newspaper accounts to devise standards-aligned lessons/telecollaborative projects aimed at developing historical as well as critical thinking skills and perspective consciousness.
