Book Description
John F. Kennedy's Inaugural Address introduces students in grades 4-8 to one of the most popular Presidents of our century. Was the civil rights legislation passed under Johnson only possible because of Kennedy's death, or could Kennedy have achieved as much or more in his own right? Would Kennedy have removed our troops from Vietnam or would he have escalated the war? Why does the Kennedy legacy still burn bright?
Students will explore these compelling questions through fascinating facts, time lines, map writing and activities. As they time-travel to the 60s, children will discover the trials and tribulations of living through the Cold War, study the impact that Kennedy had on civil rights, learn about the African and Asian fights for independence and find out why Kennedy's fiery brand of optimism and energy embodied a new hope for America that was irresistible.
For too many students, history was then and this is now. The implications, the lessons and the relevance of past events are never discovered because that door is slammed shut before it is every fully opened.
This series involved students in looking at historical documents and understanding their impact on our present lives.
