This resource contains several handouts for students that support vocabulary growth, self-reflection, and student learning about the holiday of Memorial Day. The last resources includes information about Memorial Day in different cultures.
What I love about this as a person that visits my Brother who was killed at war at the grave yard, is it helps with understanding at a young age that Memorial Day is not Veterans Day. You would not say Happy Memorial Day, any more than your would say happy funeral. Further, the day is about those that didn’t get to live out their life’s at home, after the war... Which a lot even myself before I lost my brother do not understand. Though once you have lost someone to war, you understand the difference. These lesson plans and the supporting material is so well done...
This is excellent. However, families also use memorial day to visit their dead family members.
