With the 10th anniversary of September 11 just days away, there are many lesson plans and activities out there to help students understand the events surrounding the terrorist attack and its aftermath. One worth checking out is Remembering September 11, a free collection of online resources for teachers, students, and parents by the education services company Pearson through its Online Learning Exchange. “We all recall where we were as the sun shone brightly on that Tuesday morning, but most of the students in our classrooms today do not,” says Pearson School’s Executive Vice President Emily Swenson. “Young people’s lives have been shaped by September 11 in many ways, and we want students to gain an historical perspective, as well as an understanding of the forces behind this ongoing threat and conflict.” The online collection is aimed at teaching students about the impact of the events surrounding 9/11 on American life, foreign policy, the economy, government, and citizenship.
