WE REMEMBER: September 11th, 2001

Welcome to the
AP English Blog!



Unlike our wiki, which we will use for notes and class organization, we will use our blog as a way to have informal and creative discussion at any hour of the day. For our first topic, I would like to address the upcoming 10th anniversary of September 11, 2001.







First, view the PBS video Memory Quilt in which young people share their memories of September 11th. Click Here to view.



Then, please answer the following questions in paragraph form.



1. What are your memories about September 11, 2001? What have you learned about September 11th since the event that has remained relevant or poignant to you?



2. How do you believe the world (and your life) has changed since that event? How might your world and life be different if this event had never occurred?




3. What lessons or remembrances will you pass along to your children about September 11th?
