Veteran's Day Project 2015

ACADEMIC/LEARNING OBJECTIVE

Today students will use a time in class to reflect on how they might be able to serve their country someday.  Students will be assigned a Journal Entry to write about what they think the meaning of military service is. 
Students use the balance of class time to complete the WebQuest Project and anything else that is outstanding to date.  Students will create documents and upload files
appropriately for credit.  Students are required to finish a homework interview outside of class before the end of the 1st Marking Period.

STUDENTS WILL ENTER THE CLASS QUIETLY AND BEGIN WORKING!

Students will review ALL of the directions below prior to starting the project!  Students will go to begin by writing in their Google Document Journals about the question below.  Students will then review the Homework Assignment in their Google Classroom files.  Finally, students will utilize class time to complete the WebQuest Project assigned last week.  All other outstanding work will be submitted for credit prior to the end of the 1st Marking Period.

GOOGLE DRIVE (DOCUMENT) JOURNAL ENTRY

Today you will use complete a Google Classroom Assignment and
write 2-3 sentences about how you might be able to serve your community
or country someday.  This service does not have to be in the armed
forces.  I want you to really think about how you can repay the gifts of
liberty and freedom that you have because you live in the United
States.  Consider the sacrifice of others, both in uniform and out,
while this country grew and up to the modern era.

HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT FOR VETERANS DAY 2015

3rd Herd - Prior to Deployment (Fall 2007)

Please talk to a veteran that you know.  This assignment is due prior to the end of Marking Period 1.  You must find a relative or friend that
has served our country in the armed forces and interview them.  Find out
when and where they served.  Write a one-page summary of the
interview.  See the worksheet in your Google Classroom page.  Make sure to include how long they served, why they joined,
what was the hardest and easiest part of their service, and what they
feel about others serving.    Try to include a picture of the person in
uniform if possible.  Please email this interview to me so I can print
them and post them.  End your summary with how you feel about service in
the armed forces and why it is important to serve your country in any
capacity.



Thanks for your input on this project.
