This month, some of our students read "John F. Kennedy and the Stormy Sea," part of Simon & Schuster's Ready to Read: Childhood of Famous Americans series.
The story follows John and his sister Kathleen (Jack and Kick) on a pleasure cruise turned harrowing adventure at sea. The students were tasked with taking on the role of a reporter to ask the two Kennedys about their journey and their lives in general. They used information from the story and their imaginations to decide how Jack and Kick would have answered. They also took turns in character as Jack or Kick to help answer their classmates' questions on camera. Here are a few of the resulting interviews. Enjoy!

Great job, everyone!
