This video shows how veterans from World War One wanted the bonus money they were promised to them. This shows how the veterans tried to lobby the legislative branch to pass the bill so that they could get this money. It is a good video to show the students about civil disobedience and how they were treated. (09:18)

One thousand miles from anywhere lay a lonely outpost of coral and sea called Midway. It was here in 1942 where the U.S. and Japan fought one of the greatest naval battles of World War II that changed the course of history. And it is here again where Titanic discoverer Dr. Robert Ballard now leads a team of experts and four World War II veterans on the voyage of their lives. They’re on a race against time to do the impossible: find at least one of the five downed aircraft carriers. Join them as they pay their final respects to their fallen comrades. (1hr23min)

Students watch two segments about two women who have influenced architecture and the physical look of a city. After a class discussion, students will write and perform a Readers' Theater script in which Jacobs and Lin talk to each other about their ideas about architecture and life.
Why is this an important concept?
It is important for learners to be able to recognize connections between or among texts so they can identify common themes and conflicting information in their analyses of texts.
Standard:
Analyze how two or more authors writing about the same topic shape their presentations of key information by emphasizing different evidence or advancing different interpretations of facts. Lesson plans and two video clips are all included in this link. In this video segment from New York Voices, renowned architect Maya Lin talks about her work and identity as an American of Chinese descent. Lin has made valuable contributions to American architecture, one of the most popular and perhaps most controversial being the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. Some protested her appointment as architect of the memorial because of her Asian heritage. Lin's parents immigrated to America from China to escape communism, but Maya Lin was born in Ohio. In this segment, Lin talks about a museum she is designing and how it will represent a timeline of the Chinese American experience. The museum aims to break down stereotypes of Chinese people and show their legacy of contributions as Americans. (06:43)

Video accompanied by text."The Economic difficulties that continued to plague Americans throughout the 1780s were the source of growing social unrest. All through the summer of 1786, popular conventions and informal gatherings in several states demanded reform of the state administrations. That same summer, an uprising known as Shays’s Rebellion took place in western Massachusetts. The leaders of Massachusetts were rigidly conservative, and rather than print currency to pay off the state’s debts, they increased taxes that fell most heavily on farmers and the poor. Several Massachusetts farmers, many of them war veterans, were losing their farms through mortgage foreclosures and tax delinquencies..."

Presidents: Grover Cleveland: First Term - Cleveland was the first American President to serve two non-consecutive terms in office, serving as the 22nd and 24th president of the United States. This shows how he used the power of the veto to resist change and limit government despite the needs of the people, including denying veterans' pensions. (03:22)

This video is accompanied by text. At the close of World War I, the United States found itself in a recession. Millions of veterans were suddenly looking for jobs at a time when industry was reeling from the cancellation of billions of dollars in war contracts. In addition, shortages of consumer goods that were not produced during the war created high prices and inflation. The cost of living doubled from 1913 to 1920, causing great distress for many Americans.

This set is a complete history of one of the NFL's oldest franchises, beginning with the Eagles' founding in 1933 by the legendary Bert Bell through the team's loss in last year's NFC Championship game. Along the way we'll relive some of the most memorable -and infamous - moments in team history. They've won three National Football League championships, appeared in one Super Bowl and produced legendary sports figures such as Steve Van Buren, Chuck Bednarik, Norm Van Brocklin, Tommy McDonald, Dick Vermeil, Randall Cunningham, Reggie White and Donovan McNabb. They've called five stadiums "home," including Veterans Stadium with the 700-level that's reached folkloric proportions. (1:47:23)

The American intervention in the Russian Civil War, the economic hardships of workers and returning veterans and the strikes all over the U.S. in 1919 created a hysteria that we know as Red Scare today. But how realistic was the idea of a Bolshevist revolution in America really? (22:44)
