1. What is courage? With a partner, quickly discuss the qualities of being courageous and being reckless. How are they the same? How are they different?
2. How do we memorialize courageous people and actions? Look at the difference between the Lincoln Memorial and the Vietnam War Memorial. What kind of symbolism do you see in each of these monuments? How did the artist choose to represent each person/event differently, and why do you think they approached the memorials that way?
3. If someone were to make a memorial of an event in your life that required courage, what would you want it to be? On a lined piece of paper, design your own memorial. Make sure you say at the bottom what you're being honored for.
