Conclusion

It all comes Together

USS Nevada at the bombing of Pearl Harbor

World Trade Center Towers, September 11, 2001

How does a national tragedy

Influence individuals of that nation?

Now that you have examined the reactions of the people when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, we are going to explore a tragic event in your lifetime. The “Interviewer” will now become the “Interviewee”… In other words, lets record your reactions. The event similar to Pearl Harbor in your lifetime is the Terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.

The members of your group should start your interview the same way you started the Pearl Harbor interview, and then ask similar if not the same questions. Each member of your group should interview another member (the reporter interviews the photographer, the photographer interviews the producer, the producer interviews the reporter).

We will listen to each interview and then discuss the similarities and differences between Pearl Harbor’s effect on Americans and September 11^th’s effect on Americans.

FOR EXTRA CREDIT:

You can make your own interview into a Movie Maker presentation (the same way you did the pearl Harbor interview) and share it with the class.

You can interview any adult about either JFK’s assassination, the Challenger Disaster, or September 11^th and make a Movie Maker Presentation to share with the class

Do an oral poll using the digital recorder, asking the question “Do you think that the current conflict in the Middle East is WW III? Why?” than create a Movie Maker presentation with the answers and the results to present to the class.
