PERIOD 1 of BLOCK:
Finish all three body paragraphs. If you finish you can quietly read. If you are going to re-write body paragraph #1, you can use any extra time to work on that as well.
PERIOD 2 of BLOCK:
A tour of George Washington University by a Lake Placid Alumi Laurel Miller (Sophomore)
New facts are discovered everyday when we study history. Here is a great story on a Pulitzer Prize winning photo of the flag raising on Iwo Jima. This photo was turned into a memorial for Marines at Arlington National Cemetery. We will visit this memorial on Sunday.
Iwo Jima Discovery
Another Memorial we will visit is the Vietnam Memorial Wall.
Newseum is another excellent Museum we will visit.
Some tasks we will ask each student to complete:
Newseum Tour
PULITZER PRIZE PHOTO
Here is the suggested procedure to make this happen:
Please give students in your group time to find their assigned photo. When they have found it and reviewed it, have them reconvene at a spot chosen by you (probably about 5-10 minutes)
Once you have reconvened, travel as a group stopping at each person’s photo and have him/her tell the story of the photo and comment on the most interesting aspect of the photo. Chaperones, feel free to ask questions.
9/11 EXHIBIT
We also covered 9/11 with the students for a class period. Students were very curious even with our coverage being too brief. There is a great 9/11 exhibit in Newseum that you may want to explore. Two suggestions:
- Watch the eyewitness video as a group (it’s emotional)
- Read the headlines from 9/11 as a group. Discuss what language is used in different headlines and try to uncover why that may have occurred.
