Tuesday, March 10th

Today we continued studying the bombing at Pearl Harbor and the effects of that event.  We read "Pearl Harbor" from a History of US and students took cause and effect T-chart notes on the text.  Then we watched World War II Valor in the Pacific.  It's the video that they show at the Pearl Harbor and Arizona Memorial in Hawaii.  My second flex group is a bit ahead due to the scheduling of various school events, so they listened to the audio recording of Franklin D. Roosevelt asking Congress to declare war on Japan.  Tomorrow we will read the transcript and identify the persuasive writing elements of the document.
