A Time for Thanks... and Reflection: The Story of

Thanksgiving is like, the most American holiday ever, right? We picture Pilgrims, turkeys, and a big

feast, all about being thankful. But there's way more to it than just that. It's got a long history, and

not all of it is as simple as the stories we hear in elementary school.

Harvest festivals and giving thanks have been around forever. Think ancient Greeks honoring

Demeter or Jewish celebrations like the Feast of the Tabernacles. Even way back in 1607, British

colonists in Maine gave thanks for arriving safely. But the Thanksgiving we know today? That story

gets a little more complicated.

Some people think the first Thanksgiving actually happened in Virginia in 1619. A colony called

Berkley Hundred held a religious service to celebrate their ship's arrival and said they'd do it every

year. But that colony didn't last, so the Pilgrims got all the credit. The Pilgrims, who landed near

Plymouth Rock, are usually credited with holding a harvest celebration with the Wampanoag tribe

in 1621. They ate things like lobster, clams, and, of course, "wild turkeys".

Here's where it gets tricky. The story we usually hear is all about Pilgrims and Native Americans

having a friendly meal together. But that's only one side of the story. Many Native Americans see

Thanksgiving as a reminder of what they lost when Europeans came to America. After that first

Thanksgiving, things changed quickly. There were massacres and wars, and Native Americans lost

their land and independence. So, for them, Thanksgiving isn't always a happy holiday.

Created with web.diffit.meIt's important to remember that history isn't always simple. There are different perspectives, and

it's good to hear them all. Some people might argue that focusing on the negative aspects of

Thanksgiving is disrespectful to the Pilgrims and the idea of giving thanks. They might say that it's

important to celebrate the good things in our history, even if they're not perfect. But others would

say that ignoring the negative aspects is disrespectful to Native Americans and their experiences.

They might argue that it's important to acknowledge the full history of Thanksgiving, both the

good and the bad.

Over time, Thanksgiving became more than just a harvest celebration. Presidents started

declaring days of Thanksgiving, and Abraham Lincoln made it a national holiday in 1863. The White

House even has its own Thanksgiving traditions, like the turkey pardon. The turkey pardon became

a tradition when President George H.W. Bush pardoned a turkey in 1989.

Today, Thanksgiving is a mix of traditions. We travel to see family, eat a big feast, watch parades

and football, and maybe even break a wishbone. Some people volunteer to help others in need.

But it's also a time to remember the real history of Thanksgiving, with all its complexities, and to

be respectful of different viewpoints. It's a time to be thankful, but also to think about the past

and how it affects the present

Grammar_LW5_U3L2 : Present perfect " Have you ever.."

Write questions using the Present Perfect tense with the word "ever." Use the prompts. For eg: 

• (travel) across America = Have you ever travelled across America?

Present Perfect (for/since/ever)

Have you ever been to the beach? Did you see a man with a headset pointing a long pole at the ground? If so you might have seen a person using a metal detector. People use these devices to find metal. Metal detectors make magnetic waves. These waves go through the ground. The waves change when they hit metal. Then the device beeps. This lets the person with the device know that metal is close. The first metal detectors were meant to help miners. They were big. They cost a lot of money. They used a lot of power. And worst of all, they didn't work well. People kept trying to make them better. Metal detectors got smaller. Now they are light and cheap. They also work better. That is why people bring them to the beach. They can look for rings in the water. They can look for phones in the sand. Metal detectors help them find these things. They usually just find junk though. Metal detectors also protect people. They help to keep guns out of some places. They are in airports. They are in courthouses. Some schools use them. They help guards look for weapons. Guards use special wands to find metal on a person.

These devices save lives in other ways too. During wars, people plant bombs in the ground. When the war ends, they don't clean up their messes. This is unsafe for the people who live in those places. Others use metal detectors to find bombs. They remove them and help the people. These devices also make clothes safer. It sounds funny, but it's true. Most clothes are made in big factories. There are lots of needles in these places. Needles break from time to time. They get stuck in the clothes. They would poke people trying them on. They don't though. That's because our clothes are scanned for metal. Isn't that nice? Let's hear it for metal detectors. They make the world a safer place
