For extra credit on a quiz last week, I asked my students (age 20 - 22) what the historical significance was of Dec 7, and Dec 8. Out of 21 students 10 knew Pearl Harbor, and 1 knew about Lennon's assassination.
Some chastised me because of cultural reference points for different ages, but hey...know your freaking culture period!
