These are meaningful and personal activities that I created for my students because I never found an all inclusive published version. This 9 page packet includes: a survey for students to use to interview a veteran or someone who's lived during a war or conflict, a history of Veterans Day, lyrics of the Star Spangled Banner, and America the Beautiful, an excerpt of Thomas Paine's "Crisis", links to sites:Tom Brokaw's "Great Generation", Constitution, pictures of raising the United States flag at different historical events, re-enactment of Washington crossing the Delaware on the Washington Crossing, PA website, and tips for classroom activities.
