Many
teachers will want to acknowledge September 11,
but will not spend an entire class period discussing
the events. This activity allows for that acknowledgment
and then provides a connection to whatever typically
has been planned for the day.

Lesson
Teachers
should tell students that they recognize the importance
of September 11. Today we are going to focus first
on our feelings about the event and then go to
a lesson on whatever the teacher has planned.
Divide class into groups of 6- 8 seated around
tables or on the floor. Each group should have
a piece of poster paper or newsprint and each
student should have a different colored marker.
Students are told they have 5-7 minutes to put
on the poster everything they think or feel about
the events of 9/11. Students may put a word, phrase
or simple drawing. The first student puts his/her
comment and passes the paper to the next student.
Students should get as much on the paper as they
possibly can. At the end of the time period, display
posters and allow students to talk about what
the posters have in common.
