Summary: |
A New York Times journalist has chosen to tell the chronology of September 11, 2001, through personal stories. Photographs, maps and diagrams, and a bibliography provide additional resources. |
Teaching Ideas: |
The momentous and devastating events of 9/11 retain their power through personal details. Readers can write about what they were doing and feeling using this writing as a model. Teachers may want to discuss the way the author chose to tell the story. The graphic responses of artists to 9/11 in 9/11: Artists Respond makes a good comparison. How are they different in impact on the reader? Which is more effective in recalling the events? Computer savvy students may want to look at the obituaries in the New York Times archives, in which personal stories were told for each victim, and write a story using 2 or 3 obituaries, using the book as a model. |
