Here’s a lesson for younger students to learn more about
Pearl Harbor Day.

Introduce students to a Pearl Harbor survivor. Take your
students to the article in The Gaston Gazette: http://www.gastongazette.com/articles/pearl-63351-harbor-army.html
Ask your students to first listen to the video of Jack Leach

ask them to play the slide show and look for the medals and the Hawaiian
dollar.
