Today we discussed Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) today and in the book. We looked at the story of Pat Tillman, an NFL player who joined the Army Rangers and served in Afghanistan. Yesterday, was the tenth anniversary of Tillman's death. The details of his death remained a mystery for some time. For several years, the Army stated Tillman was killed by militants, but later admitted he had been killed by friendly-fire. Steven Elliot, a fellow Army Ranger, recently came public, stating that he believes he may have fired the shot which killed Tillman.
Additionally, we covered some vocabulary for the chapter "On the Rainy River." This is Daily Assignment #4. There is a worksheet to help you through.
Purpose: 1) Learn about PTSD today and in the book.
2) Make a text-to-self connection.
Essential Questions: 1) How do individuals/characters in the book deal with PTSD?
2) If you were in Tim's situation and got drafted, what would you do?
