Deja and Ben go to the 9/11 Museum and see the missing towers. They see loss and sadness all of the onlooker's faces. This gives a good visual of what used to be.
This photo will be used to show the students where the Twin Towers used to be and how much it impacted the United States of America.]]> 2019-11-04 19:57:47 UTC https://padlet.com/lenright1992/vifmk2lxkquh/wish/406500223 Vocabulary Words lenright1992 https://padlet.com/lenright1992/vifmk2lxkquh/wish/406501473 2019-11-04 19:59:32 UTC https://padlet.com/lenright1992/vifmk2lxkquh/wish/406501473 Essential Questions lenright1992 https://padlet.com/lenright1992/vifmk2lxkquh/wish/406527053 1. How does where you're raised affect how you think?
2. Why should a community, as a whole, feel connected to a specific event?
3. What kind of connections can we make to each other as well as different communities?]]> 2019-11-04 20:47:17 UTC https://padlet.com/lenright1992/vifmk2lxkquh/wish/406527053 Book Passage 1 lenright1992 https://padlet.com/lenright1992/vifmk2lxkquh/wish/406898360 2019-11-05 15:20:04 UTC https://padlet.com/lenright1992/vifmk2lxkquh/wish/406898360 Visual 2: 9/11 Memorial and 3 Service Members sara_alguire1 https://padlet.com/lenright1992/vifmk2lxkquh/wish/406898951 This photo shows 3 men of service reflecting together at the 9/11 Memorial in New York City. They are looking at the names of those who lost their lives where the buildings were once standing. In this photo, you get a sense of community and support with their arms around each other, leaning on each other, and taking a moment of silence to remember what happened that day.]]> 2019-11-05 15:20:52 UTC https://padlet.com/lenright1992/vifmk2lxkquh/wish/406898951 Character Development Activity: Character Map sara_alguire1 https://padlet.com/lenright1992/vifmk2lxkquh/wish/406905227 We will have our students choose a character from the book (Deja, Ben, Sabeen, Dad, etc.) and create a character map to track how they change from the beginning to the end. They will provide a summary of how their character changes for each stage they go through. This activity can be made on their computer through a website or hand drawn on a piece of construction paper. 
(Below is an example of how their map can look.)

This depicts how America was able to rebuild after this devastating attack, while still never forgetting those who had fallen. 
When most people think of 9/11 they tend to think about the towers alone, and forget about the plane that had struck the Pentagon. This image would be a great way to teach on the entire impact of the attack on 9/11 and how it affected America.]]> 2019-11-05 16:14:15 UTC https://padlet.com/lenright1992/vifmk2lxkquh/wish/406939717 Book 1 tylerpierson92 https://padlet.com/lenright1992/vifmk2lxkquh/wish/406945010 Seedfolks by Paul Fleischman

These hands are painted on top of the Twin Towers. As a country, this shows how we tried our hardest to help those struggling but, for some, we couldn't get there quick enough.

When I am called to duty, God,
whenever flames may rage;
give me strength to save some life,
whatever be its age.
Help me embrace a little child
before it is too late;
or save an older person
from the horror of that fate.
I want to fill my calling
and to give the best in me;
to guard my every neighbor
and protect his property.
And if, according to my fate,
I am to lose my life; please bless
with your protecting hand
my children and my wife.

R.I.P Ed Tomlin

Pops doubts himself for not being able to go back into the towers and help everyone else out. He has so much regret and mourns the loss of those he couldn't save.]]> 2019-11-12 16:19:59 UTC https://padlet.com/lenright1992/vifmk2lxkquh/wish/410056549 Theme Poem lenright1992 https://padlet.com/lenright1992/vifmk2lxkquh/wish/410076802 Community

Offering kindness and love
Memories that last a lifetime
Manifesting good spirits
Unity, friendships and support

Inside and out, the beauty shows
Trouble has no face in this area

On the inside he’s frozen
Regretting being the one who was chosen
Knowing that he couldn’t do anything to stop it
Wondering why God made him the Prophet

His lungs ache and fill with dust
In God we must trust
To push us through the rust
To give us that extra thrust
Before we feel like we will bust

But, in the end, he feels worthless
He throws a fit and curses
Wanting to provide for his family
Knowing who he has to be

Get off your bed, sir. On to your feet
Go out into the world without defeat
Strive to make yourself complete
Be the man to bring the heat
