=toc G.R.A.S.P.S= = = To find an American soldier from the Revolutionary War who will come to the future and explain to the audience of Regis and Kelly how important and how much of a privilege independence is. || Using an I-movie work in small groups to present your side of the American Revolution to the audience of Regis and Kelly. The talk show hosts want the audience to understand that U.S. troops are being sent to war to help other countries gain the right of independence just like America has. There is one small problem though. It seems that most U.S. citizens in today’s society have forgotten just how important independence is to our way of life. ||

=Introduction= The American Revolution was a time of great excitement, frustration, and violence. There were several great men who fought for their rights and the rights of their families and friends living in the colonies. Many of the rights which these men were fighting for had never been mentioned before. Without the actions of certain leaders those rights may have never been won and America would look very different today if it existed at all. Then, once independence was granted, so began the birth of a great nation.

=Task= Regis and Kelly are doing a show this week dedicated to the war in Iraq. After reviewing an audience survey they realized that not many people understand why American troops are over in Iraq helping those people gain independence from dictators and terrorist leaders. They both feel that the audience would be more interested in the program if they had a guest on the show who could really explain the importance of independence. Your job as the production assistant is to find the perfect guest to help the audience remember that independence is a privilege not all people get to enjoy and that it is worth risking your life for. You immediately recognize that the war in Iraq has many similarities to the American Revolution. So you hop in your time machine and travel back to the 1700’s to find a soldier who is horrified that future citizens do not appreciate or understand what he is fighting for. Make sure he is the perfect guest for the show so you can score some major brownie points with Regis and Kelly which may result in a raise

=Conclusion= Regis and Kelly would like to thank you for bringing them the perfect guest for their show. The soldier’s interview will be aired and help remind the American public that values which originated during the Revolution are still present today, that independence changed the way this land was run, and that without the actions of certain key leaders independence might never have been achieved. Your hard work and knowledge of the American Revolution has landed you a hefty raise. Now in what other ways can you remind people that history has a significant impact on our futures?
