Gianna Jessen Abortion Survivor



Watch this moving video and respond. Do you agree? Do you disagree? What do you like about the video? What do you not like about the video?

This is a bold video, and one that can easily spark debate. But in my History class, I believe that it is very important to stay up-to-date with "current events". This allows my students to watch, listen, and observe - and formulate their own opinion about current issues that surround them every day. So, is it a bold assignment? Yes. Does it cause my students to step out of their comfort zones and stretch their thinking? Yes. And that, is part of my job description.
