9/11 Teaching Activities

Kathy Saunders, an English teacher at Asheboro High School, has found a great resource for a 9/11 remembrance lesson.  "The Man in the Red Bandana"  is a powerful video, courtesy of ESPN, that can lead into great writing or discussion tasks.

Kathy first shared it with me last year.  She started with the lesson EQ:  What would you do in the last hour? Ask the question, but caution students about writing to their audience (the teacher).  The video works great to teach symbolism.  I used it last year and it fit nicely with our work on epic heroes.  The cross-curricular potential is endless. 

I also found a LiveBinder with 9/11 Teaching Activities.

Please share any ideas you may have on this topic or how you could use the video in your class.
