1. It was bombed by the Japanese air fleet \_/
2350 killed...1178 injured
the USS Arizona and allthe planes at pearl harbor
at least 100 survivors
2.To not disappoint all the people who watched many pearl harbor documentaries,for it had some bad reviews.
5million dollars and on a navy ship in hawaii
it was appropiate to show something that commemorates it in the port in which the attack happened.
i really didnt notice any romance
3.well....yes for some people say the japanese had warned the president about it and he didnt do anything about it.
4.Pearl harbor...i dont really like things about history.
no, for i dont know wat really happened because history isnt very exciting to me.
No, i think people just think things could have been done to stop the attack on pearl harbor so thats who they blame.

drake - Why did you choose Pearl Harbor as a topic? Just curious.

I'm always a little surprised when people tell me they find history boring. Maybe I'm a little biased.

I incorporate history into everything I teach (Civics, Psychology, Social Psychology, etc.) In order to make sense of the world, we need to put things into context. Once we put things into context, we can move forward. We can use what we've learned and hopefully do something with it.

Many people in History Recovery have expressed interest in studying contemporary examples of racism, sexism and homophobia plaguing our nation and world. Before we can fully grasp these issues, we must examine the root of these problems. Then, things start to "make sense." For example, by examining our history, we can better understand current controversies over issues such as: the mascot and logo issue, reparations for slavery, the noose as a symbol, the controversy over the gay marriage issue, Hillary Clinton's historic run for the presidency and on and on....

Did you get a chance to look at the National Geographic website I posted?

Lets talk about some ideas for future topics/projects.

drake - Let me know when you read this. I want to know if you are re-checking your comments to see if I comment back. Did you get a chance to read my last comment?

So far, I think you've completed a multimedia presentation and the Pearl Harbor comment. What am I missing?

Examples of Map Legends and Map Symbols (Plus Creative Tips and Project Ideas!)

Creative tips and projects for teaching students about legends (keys) on a map: 1. Create a scavenger hunt: Give students a map with a key and have them find different landmarks or features on the map. For example, you might ask them to find a park, a school, and a river. This is a fun way to get students engaged with maps and help them learn how to read legends. 2. Make your own map: Have students create their own maps of their school or neighborhood. They can include symbols for different features like buildings, parks, and roads. This is a great way to get students thinking about the different elements that go into making a map. 3. Use technology: There are many online tools that allow you to create custom maps with your own symbols and legends.

Ripped Paper World Map Project - Middle or High School Geography

Earlier this week I presented my students with a challenge. Create a world map using construction paper, glue, and a sharpie. No scissors.  Students were not allowed to use any tools to cut out their continents. They had to tear their continents from construction paper. After their continents were ready, students were asked to label them and then glue them in place.  Each student's map needed a title, compass rose, key, symbols, Equator, and Prime Meridian, and all the continents and oceans had to be labeled. Most of my students had a blast creating their maps. Of course, a couple students were anxious; worried their continents wouldn't look nice. With some reassuring, they proceeded and did just fine.  This activity is a perfect back-to-school or sub-day activity. It required very little prep and materials. I let my students use any color construction paper they wanted as long as they selected two different colors.  The results were fantastic! Grab your copy of the ...
