Quick Ideas for Using the Video:

  • Use the video as part of a career exploration unit. What do students learn about military service that they did not know/understand before viewing the video? What is their view of individuals who choose a military career? Would they be interested in a military career? Why or why not?
  • Provide the video to students as they engage in projects focused on creating a biography of someone who might be considered a “regular” person rather than a “famous” one. What first person information/video excerpts can they use in their project?
