A date which will live in infamy<\/p>\nFranklin D. Roosevelt<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Each year, we commemorate Pearl Harbor Day to remember and honor the 2,403 Americans killed in the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. This significant event led to the United States\u2019s consequential decision to declare war on Japan and enter World War II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although this date seems to be far in the past, the last survivor of the attack on the USS Arizona, Lou Conter, just died on April 1, 2024, at the age of 102.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because the attack on Pearl Harbor led to many consequential events, students should have opportunities to look at this event from many different viewpoints. One way to share this information is through choice boards, which allow students to choose different activities that relate to the same topic. Providing students with choices leads to higher engagement because it gives them a say in the materials they use in the learning process and the task they complete to demonstrate their understanding of the content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some suggestions to use when creating a task choice board about Pearl Harbor:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
