Today, students looked at the achievements and legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen. After a series of video clips from the Military Channel's documentary Air Aces: Red Tails, we then discussed our up coming field trip to the Chanute Air Museum. Tomorrow and Friday, students will have the opportunity to see the travel Red Tail exhibit, and see a renovated P-51 Mustang fighter plane that was used by the Tuskegee Airmen. Students were also asked to go home tonight and ask what their parents (or anyone old enough to remember) what they remember about what they were doing when they first heard about the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Please share with your students what you remember about that day so that we can discuss those events tomorrow in class.
