September 11th

Friday marks the 8th anniversary of the September 11th attacks. Use caution when presenting material to your students. Consider their age levels, maturity levels, and leave your politics at the door.


Teaching 9/11: the September 11th Education Program is an interdisciplinary unit that is cost-based, but has a free remembrance presentation and discussion questions if you sign up.





My Name is Osama

This lesson plan includes a story (and a worksheet) about an Iraqi immigrant boy. Excellent point of view lesson.


Write Letters to Commemorate 9-11


This lesson plan explains how students can use the friendly letter format to write letters to police, firemen, or military personnel.


Billy Bear 4 Kids is geared toward primary students. This site doesn’t have content that you can teach with, but has a printable blank flag. Consider having students write notes in the flag.


Poems After the Attack
About.com offers a poetry anthology based on September 11th poems. Great for figurative language and critical thinking skills.
