The video really hit the students deeply, too. When you think of Americans across our nation sitting by their radios listening being led in prayer by President Roosevelt. Would that ever happen today? I wonder....but this prayer united a country that was hurting. I am sure that many felt comforted by the President's words. <br /><br />The majority of my students had little difficulty writing an essay based off our discussion and readings. I think they do have a deeper understanding of what it means to have courage, and the sacrifice of our military. I also hope that they demonstrate courage in their own lives, and know how important it truly is. middlegradesteacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13774507143785426206noreply@blogger.com
