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
On behalf of America’s children, thank you!
