This mini lesson includes a video which highlights the resurrection of a Shinto shrine in Ohio. Built in 1964, the shrine served as an educational site to teach about Japanese culture, though it was never consecrated. The project aims to not only rebuild the shrine but also to plant cherry blossom trees, further enriching the cultural significance of the site. Along with historical context, speaker notes, and age group specific discussion questions, teachers can facilitate this as an opener/closer to a lesson or during May AANHPI Heritage Month.
