Thanks.
A couple of ideas that may spark your history lessons:
1.) Throw in a little physics: Newton has a law “For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.”
2.) After 80 years, the opposite reaction of the Market system is finally strong enough in America to attempt to defeat Capitalism: State-Control vs Market Control.
3.) Remember the essays on radio, (your grandparents might remember), entitled: “ What America means to me?” These were written by grade school children. Have your classes do the same.
For High School children have 3 speeches/student: student, parents, grandparents. Recited by student, but written by each generation. Winner gets to lead the marching band onto the football field at halftime for the crowning of the Homecoming King and Queen. (I get all choked up just thinking about it!)
