In my opinion, it really isn't that important, but people make it out to be, especially the media.

Interesting assignment... what is YOUR question about it? Do you understand what your teacher is asking you to do?

These links should get you started, and will lead you to many othr links.  If you consider they were each from different countries, think about that in terms of their perspectives.  \n\nGood luck with your paper.

This is one of those holidays that seems to tear my families (my fathers side and my mothers side) apart.  My father is Cherokee and my mother is *mostly* Welsh.  Many of the Christians in her family talk about how wonderful the 1st Thanksgiving was, while my fathers family talk about the murder that happened.\n\nPearly Gator, please read up.  Or watch the History Channel.  The truth is out on this one... be thankful, for whatever it is you think you should be thankful for... but at least be honest about it.

Abortion, War in Iraq, Euthanasia, President Bush, anything controversial, just make sure you know what side your teacher is on, considering she will be the one grading you.\n\nGood Luck and God bless.

Maybe some nice soap would be good, maybe socks?  Your idea sounds great, I'm just trying to add some other thoughts.  I think it so hard to know what they may need, but probably they could use many daily items.\n\nIt's wonderful that you are sending the presents. We, as the regular people of the US, need to reach out in friendship to Afghans and Iraqis.

No it was not. It may have been for private schools, but not for most. The reason is below:\n\nThanksgiving(lets say) is a national holiday for America. Therefore, all schoold had a small vacation. Although most people consider valentines day a holiday, It is not. It is a made up day given to people to show how much you love them.\n\n\nIn conclusion, most schools did not have off for valentines day.

Girls LOVE planning parties.....happy 13th!  Get a piece of paper, write in the time from now until then, and fill in what you want to do during these times, and what it takes to do them...it's a snap!   Caterers?  Won't you have parental help?  This post makes me think of my daughter

Um, not for nothing but... Instead of sitting on the computer playing in Yahoo Answers you should have been doing your assignment.  I doubt if this were given to you today; you've probably known about it for weeks.  Now it is the last day and you are up a creek, and why?  Because you let it slide so you could play instead.  Now it is time for you to pay the piper.\n\nNo, I can not help you on this.  Sorry.

VERY INTERESTING??????\nAs a Canadian I applaud your enthusiastic efforts to show you support your troops abroad.  You can join us Canadians, who have been wearing red on Fridays for quite some time, at least since earily summer '06 to support our troops over in Afghanistan.  Oddly enough we called it "Red Friday" also. \nIt was started by the Canadian families, who have loved ones serving & dieing in Afghanistan.  They chose RED, because it represents one of our prominent colors in the Canadian Flag to show how proud they are that Canada is trying to help the Afghanistan people live in a 'Taliban-free zone' country & keep terrorists  like Bin Landen out, which in turn backs up the U.S. on the "War against Terror", which sent the Canadian troops to Afghanistan in the 1st place to support the U.S. after 9/11.  Glad to see a good idea is spreading in your neck of the woods!\nGlad to have you on board!  Best of luck & safety to your troops too!  May they return home soon, safe & sound.\n"Shout out from your friendly Canuck neighbour" !  =)

Good question! You could draw a German flag (black, red and gold) or perhaps draw some beer ( I don't know how school appropiat this would be though.)

I had to do one awhile ago.  I did mine on the political cartoons and opinions during World War 2.  You can try it if you want.  It's kind of simple.  Dr. Seuss was a "huge" political cartoonist.  You can talk about opiniions about events in the cartoons and how they were impacts at the time.

Right on! My school just devoted an entire day to raising money for the Darfur genocide. We sold shirts saying stop the genocide-Darfur on them and we raised $2000 and we are trying to raise awareness about the genocide by organizing a rally for the Darfur genocide. It cannot be stoped unless people know about it
