Global Training Program, December 20th 2017 Orientation
Today students gathered to hear a special lecture from Mr. Ono, a history teacher at Rakuhoku. The students were very interested in listening to a brief history of the United States of America, from it's European Discovery and founding of the English colonies, through the revolutionary war, until recent times. Some of the keystone moments include the Declaration of independence, the civil war, the transcontinental railroad, involvement in WW1, slavery and the civil rights movement. We'd like to thank Mr. Ono for his wonderful presentation.
As we begin our winter break for the New Year, the Global Jinzai participants received some homework to do some research about America's history, as well as continue preparation for their January presentations. We look forward to our next meeting on January 8th.
