Sunday (Nov 17) Page E1 "Nov. 22, 1963" It is written across three pages, so make sure you read the entire thing!!!

Write two paragraphs about what you learned from reading this story.


Reading this story, I learned a lot about how the JFK's assassination, effected almost very one, in a unique way. Lucy Johnson who wrote the article, shares her experience about the day that he was assassinated. She was in class at school when she found out, and was very worried about her parents because they were also in Texas.

She shares the stories of the students who went to go watch his speech and write reports about it. So many students and teenagers of that time, were really affected by the assassination. They could relate to JFK because he was so young and exciting, and it really hurt people to see what happened. I learned that this sort of thing doesn't just affect the families, it affects each individual person, in a different way.
