Veterans 

There are many men and women who have sacrificed their lives for our country not only from WWII but in every war we have been involved in. There are still survivors of WWII living today for this project everyone will interview a survivor of World War II. If you can not find one please come and talk to me. 

In your interviews you are free to ask any questions you would like or talk about anything you are interested in from the War. I would like you to really think about the sacrifice that these men and women have made for our country and keep that focus during your interviews. 

When your interview is complete I would like you to summarize it and turn it in to me. We will be sharing interesting points of our interviews with the class. Lastly everyone will send a thank you note to their veteran for serving out country and for doing the interview. 

In this video there are nine veterans that were interviewed from the 101st. Airborne's Forgotten Battalion, please watch it. You may also find some questions that you could use in your personal interviews. 

Using videos in the classroom I believe is a very powerful tool, there are many educations videos or clips that students watch and enjoy and don't even realize that they are learning. Videos are also a good tool because it gives the students a chance to learn from someone else, many times a teacher can become dull to a student and having the opportunity to learn from a video or a guest speaker is very enjoyable to the students. Videos in the classroom should not to be overlooked.
