Language Arts Credit

Course Description: This course invites students to explore the historical and cultural dimensions of Japanese internment during World War II, with a focus on the International District of Seattle as a vibrant cultural hub. Through a collective reading of Jamie Ford’s poignant novel, “Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet,” students will engage in discussions that connect literary themes with real-life experiences of the Japanese American community. Join us for a transformative journey through history, literature, and community exploration.

Students will earn Language Arts credit by actively participating in class discussions, completing assignments, and attending sessions regularly.
