Eighth-grade students visited the 9/11 Memorial & Museum in lower
Manhattan this last week. It was the culmination of an entire
skills-building unit of informational text taken from the 9/11
Commission Report where the students created timelines and thinking maps
to better understand and analyze the events of September 11, 2001. The
students visited the museum first and saw many of the artifacts which
were recovered from that infamous day. They immersed themselves in the
experience and then went outside to the memorial where they all honored
Andrew Stern as well as others who lost family & friends.
