Give students index cards to write their names, the date of the interview, the name of the person interviewed, and the questions they plan to ask. Older students can write the answers on the backs of the cards while younger students can have the people they interview write the answers for them. Or the students can make a recording or video to share with the class. In class, share the questions and answers. Start a class project of writing to hospitalized veterans, letting them know they aren't forgotten.
Students can write about their interests and activities.
They can also tell what they have learned about Veterans Day. They should reflect on the different mood of this music, the different purpose for which it was written, how it makes us feel when we hear it at a military ceremony. Ask them to consider how this effect is achieved, how it makes them feel. Provide drawing paper, markers, crayons and scissors. Have students design giant stamps to honor veterans.
