Links for in-class viewing on Fri 12/2
9/11 Ten Years Later (History Channel)
George W. Bush Address to the Nation, 9/11/2001
Wednesday’s class on 12/7 will be focused on addressing your questions, curiosity and knowledge gaps about 9/11/2001. Remember to keep our Unit 5 model in mind. Start with the event itself: what happened, and what did it mean? Then work either forwards (legacy, consequences, short and long-term effects) or backwards (what do you need to know in order for this event to make sense to you?).
Choose your own reading from the list below; these include resources, articles, videos, curriculum lesson plans, and other material from 9/11/2001 and the 10-year commemoration earlier this fall. Take a close look through at least one of these links, and read more if you feel you need more.
