| |PEARL HARBOR |

| | |

| | |

| |Activity 1: Read the following looking for the main idea of this text. |

| |During the 1930's Japan was having a difficult time with its economy. The country decided to invade and take over neighboring countries to |

| |capture their import markets. In 1937, Japan invaded China. The United States responded by placing trade sanctions on Japan. They prevented|

| |Japan from importing oil and other necessary products. Japan didn't like that. For many months, Japanese ambassadors were in Washington, D.|

| |C. trying to get together on an agreement, but nothing happened. |

| |The United States did not think that Japan would start a war. The distance from the United States was too far. They thought that possibly |

| |Japan would attack some islands in the Pacific belonging to European countries. |

| |At that time, nearly the entire United States Pacific fleet of battleships was stationed in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The Japanese decided that|

| |if they could wipe out that fleet, the United States would not be able to stop their further takeover of countries in Asia. Plans for the |

| |attack began in January, 1941. |

| |On December 7, 1941, at 7:55 a. m, Japanese airplanes began dropping bombs on the battleships in Pearl Harbor. They also hit the airfields |

| |where several hundred airplanes were stationed. They chose a Sunday morning when the service men would not be as alert. Many were still in |

| |their pajamas or eating breakfast. They had no warning. |

| |First, bombs were dropped on the USS Arizona. It sank with over 1000 men killed. The USS Oklahoma turned over and sank with over 400 men |

| |dead. The attack lasted 110 minutes. By the end of that attack, every one of the 8 battleships had suffered great damage. More than 300 |

| |airplanes were destroyed as well as the airfields. |

| |However, by that time in history, battleships were no longer the most important type of warship for the United States. Aircraft |

| |carriers were much more valuable. It so happened that none of the carriers was at Pearl Harbor at the time of the attack. Also, 6 of the 8 |

| |battleships were later repaired and used again. The bombs didn't destroy the oil storage tanks or the repair shops or shipyards. So, the |

| |United States was able to recover more quickly than the enemy thought. |

| |On December 8, 1941 President Franklin Roosevelt declared was on Japan. The Congress supported him. Two allies of Japan, Italy and Germany,|

| |declared war on the United States 3 days later. The United States approved a war against them. Now the United States had joined World War |

| |II which had begun in Europe in 1939. |

| |The Japanese Vice Admiral Chuichi Nagumo was in charge of the attack on Pearl Harbor. His fleet of aircraft was made up of 353 planes. The |

| |Japanese also used 5 midget submarines which secretly entered the harbor and released torpedoes against the battleships. Four of these were|

| |destroyed by the United States. The Japanese lost 65 men and 28 planes. Many of these planes were suicide bombers. Men who thought it was |

| |great to die for their country crashed their planes into the battleship decks. |

| |The United States service men identified the Japanese planes by seeing the 'meatballs', the red suns, on the planes. The red circle, the |

| |rising sun, was the Japanese symbol. |

| |Today, a floating national monument sits on top of the hull of the USS Arizona in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. |

| | |

| |Activity 2: Based on the text above and imagining that you were at Pearl Harbor on the day of the attack. Write a letter to President |

| |Franklin Roosevelt on how he should respond to the Japanese for attacking the United States. Remember to use correct punctuation, |

| |capitalization, grammatical structure, cohesion. The letter must be 80-100 words. |

| | |

| |Activity 3: In your notebook write down what is the lesson that this historical event left in the United States? Justify your answer in a |

| |40-60 word paragraph. Be prepared to share in class. |
