MS History: Select 2 of the 3 speeches and listen to them. What does the President say in each of the speeches that allow you to know more about that time period? Why do you think the people would remember this particular speech from the President during this time period? Please consult with a parent or an adult to add in a personal connection to each of the speeches you have listened to.
