Remember September 11
First Year Anniversary Lesson Plan Examples

Through July and early August, we will be focusing this site on soliciting ideas from you, America's education professionals, on lesson plans, discussion ideas and suggestions to help us all face the anniversary of September 11 with a sense of coping, healing and learning.

The examples listed below are to provide you with ideas of what is being submitted by your colleagues. These are just samples and are not necessarily representative of the scope and educational value of our work-in-progress site.

On August 26th, we will launch the in-depth resource site with cross references to class-level and subject.

As always, we welcome your comments via email at sept11@nea.org.

On behalf of America's children, thank you!
