Bummer..

I asked students what particular interests they had about Veterans Day. A lot wanted to learn about Code Talkers and Marine Corps. I put together an informative lesson via the Smart board. It didn't go as well as I hoped. A lot of the comments saddened me. Here are a few:

"Hey, that's like the movie Windtalkers.."

"That's like the game Modern Warfare/Call of Duty..."

No, I say, this is real life and true stories.

I explained to them that during moment of silence, I think of the real soldiers that continue to fight for my freedom and those that did fight.
