This document outlines a lesson plan for a 4th grade classroom to learn about the events of September 11, 2001. The class has 20 students from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds. Over the course of a week, students will read articles and view materials about 9/11, learn about the response efforts, research the locations attacked, and interview a family member about their memories of that day. Technology such as an Elmo, computers, and PowerPoint will be used to support the lessons. The goal is for students to describe the impacts of 9/11 with 90% accuracy.
