September 11th (9/11): First & Second Hand Account Perspectives (4th, 5th, 6th)
- PDF
What educators are saying
Description
Students will distinguish between first and secondhand accounts as they explore and discuss 5 different perspectives surrounding the events occurring on September 11th (9/11). Written with regard to “kid friendly” understanding and sensitivity of the topic, students will collaborate in rich discussions as they participate in this group scoot activity. They will use inferencing skills and text evidence to determine from which point of view each account is written. The integration of both Language Arts skills and social studies content provides a great way to raise awareness of this important event in our nation’s history while at the same time giving practice in several Common Core standard areas.

"Great activities for my students! I teach 4th graders and this can be a touchy subject. This exposes students to this event without overwhelming them - definitely a delicate balance! Awesome!"
"Perfect activities to practice the difficult standard of first and second hand accounts while at the same time exposing students to an important topic in a sensitive manner. Students were really engaged!"
