Description

Students will read 3 brief paragraphs giving an overview of 9/11 and the memories of a high school senior on 9/11. They will then answer 5 discussion questions and determine from 15 statements/scenarios which refer to life before 9/11 and which represent life after 9/11. There are then 10 interview questions students can ask someone about the impact 9/11 had for them immediately, in the short term, and today. Lastly, there are 4 discussion questions for President Bush's first two addresses to the nation. The answers are included where appropriate! 

Sample questions include: 
--Compare and contrast what you think it meant to be a patriot before and after the events of 9/11.
--Discuss any differences in how we see the world and how the world sees us since September 11.
--A few hours after the first plane hit and there was more information available, did your thought process or emotional reaction change? If so, how?
--Were you scared?
--Identify the greatest similarity and greatest difference in Bush’s two excerpts.
--Why didn’t President Bush wait until 8:30pm to address the nation?
