Note
When
acts of terrorism occur or during war, students
have some hard
questions. To help you find a way to answer these
questions, review the Background for the Teacher.
The
activities within this lesson plan are meant to
guide young students to understand that even during
the most tragic events, there are people there
to help those affected by
the tragedy and humanitarian rules by which people
live.
