Teacher Aubrey Clarke will show a video of the day as it was happening. He will then have 30 minutes of discussion around these topics: I was 39 and some of you were 4, 5, 6 years old.. I was on my way to class at OCU. What were you doing? Still in bed at home? At play? Day care, pre-school K or 1st grade?” What were you told? Did know what was going on? Or were not you told? Why/why not?  – What do we now understand about the event? / What?/who  are the “us” / “them” today?
General view of the news as it was coming out; what happened and what we did that day, does it have meaning to our culture? What was being said as it came out? And to whom, what & why? – Have the class talk as much as we can about the facts as they understand them. What does this day mean to you? What will it mean to your children?
Other items as they come up.
Clarke says: “As the years have gone by I find that less of our kids have a ‘feel’ for the day. At best they have views that are not theirs. How old do we need to be for it to be something that we saw and that we feel? When does an event become history? My mother knew people who were killed on Dec 7, 1941. Her older brothers were in WWII. To me WWII was a lesson in my US History class, an event to study, to know the date. To understand that this was the reason the US went to war.â€
“Should be eye opening…for me & for them.â€
