3. Write a Speech
Write a speech to all of the families who had a loved one killed on September 11th. It could have been their father, mother, grandparents, or any other family member. We still talk about the events on September 11th, but as years go on we think of it less and less until we get to the point where we only memorialize the day/event on September 11th every year. Here's your chance to help those families who paid the ultimate price know that they are not alone. How can we still help these families today?
4. Class Discussion- Student Reflections
As we finish up the lesson, please take some time to reflect on the knowledge you have gained today. Think back to the important parts of the video and the reading. How did they help you in your "Speech" assignment? Did you cite specific textual evidence from the video and/or the reading?

Let's take take advantage of getting the most out of this assignment and really try to grow and be better students tomorrow than you were today.
