In this interactive lesson, students learn about September 11, 2001, and how the deadliest terror attacks in U.S. history changed the country and the world. Using videos, text, and images, students explore the day’s tragic events, how the nation and world responded, and how Americans remember 9/11 and the thousands who died. By analyzing the larger 9/11 story, the individuals who acted heroically, and the challenges of recovering from the attacks, students answer the essential question: How did September 11, 2001, affect communities locally and across the nation, both immediately and in the years since?
