Proud American
This has always been a favorite poem of mine.
It give me strength to go on when I feel depressed and lonely.
When I was teaching 9th grade, it was one of the poems in the textbook, so I recorded it for my students to study. and performed the music on various instruments as well. (harmonica, tenor recorder etc.
Watch it every day when you feel sad and it will cheer you up!
that is so beautiful, wow! I did the same thing when I was teaching – but it was more telling stories to the kids.
Well I recently did this video, and I wrote the lesson plan a few years ago, so now they are joined together on line in this post.
i remember the days of creating lesson plans! it is a great lesson and a great way to pull everything together!
Never give up, Just that one phrase should keep us all up in good spirits.
Thank you Rachael. I loved it and loved your movements in the video. It did not cheer me up, but, liked it.
I hope that you will feel better and better as time goes on!
