Purple Heart radio story

We talked in English 11 class today about the role of awards in our lives. We discussed the significance of earning awards, and how sometimes awards help us recognize our achievements. In connection with the book Purple Heart, we listened to a report that was part of an investigation into the awarding of Purple Hearts to soldiers with Traumatic Brain Injury. You can find the article by clicking here. In class tomorrow, we'll talk about the impact that this report had on these awards for soldiers.

Here, you can find our notes from the discussion about the report. I'm sure your notes are more complete than mine!
