Students consider why there are so many different dates associated with the Declaration of Independence and why the nation's birthday is celebrated on July 4.
It's Independence Day! Or is it?
Patriot Day is celebrated today on the anniversary of the terrorist attacks of 2001.
Students write about the name "Patriot Day" and how it marks the anniversary of a huge disaster. An alternative assignment could be to ask students to record their reflections about 9/11.
