Task

You learned Goethe's 3 Questions in this lesson. It is now time for you to apply these questions to a live performance. Watch the performance of Nihonjin Face (36:09) from PBS. Give yourself plenty of time to watch it!

Nihonjin Face is a one-act play by Janet Hayakawa. During WWII, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed an Executive Order that authorized "the removal of any or all people from military areas deemed as necessary or desirable." As a result, 120,000 Japanese Americans were imprisoned in camps across the country. Nihonjin Face is the story of the 10-year old Tomiko Hasimoto as she struggles to understand what is happening to her family during this time.

After watching the play, complete 8.03 Goethe and Nihonjin Face. Submit your completed work to the 8.03 Goethe and Nihonjin Face Dropbox.
