5. In place of a missing grade, you may write a one-page essay on some aspect of Pearl Harbor-- the attack, the errors, the results, the costs, or any other thing associated with it. You may include facts, but put everything in your own words. Most of all, I want your opinion about that which you are writing.
6. An alternative to the paper is that you may read to the class the excerpt below of President Roosevelt's speech.
Mr. Vice President, Mr. Speaker, members of the Senate and the House of Representatives: yesterday, December 7, 1941-a date which will live in infamy-the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan…..
But always will our whole nation remember the character of the onslaught against us. No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory.
I believe that I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost but will make it very certain that this form of treachery shall never again endanger us.
Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger.
