Description:
Eighth grade students interviewed veterans from World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War as part of an interdisciplinary unit in social studies and English language arts. The veterans' contributions and insights made the curriculum more meaningful, real, and relevant to the students' lives. Through the veterans' first-hand knowledge and experiences, students learned valuable lessons about humanity, patriotism, and sacrifice not provided by textbooks.
