Today we continued our discussion of 9/11. Students shared observations and comments from things they saw last Sunday, the 10 year anniversary. Students looked at a series of documents, including a speech given by then president Bush the evening of the attacks (below). For each of the documents, students wrote down a possible hypothesis of the author and evidence from the reading that supported their hypothesis.

At the end of the period, students listened to a radio story about a the effects of 9/11 on a Muslim-American girl:
