Foreign Language
- The child had the opportunity to practice listening and speaking skills while engaging in conversations with reenactors and veterans.
- They may have learned new vocabulary related to D-day and military history.
- They could have practiced cultural understanding by interacting with individuals from different backgrounds.
Continued development can include encouraging the child to write a journal entry or create a presentation in the foreign language about their experience at the D-day reenactment. They can also research and learn about the language and culture of the countries involved in D-day. Encouraging them to find a language exchange partner or pen pal who speaks the foreign language can also help further their language skills.
