Today we talked about a sensitive topic:the heroes of 9/11. After finding out about what students knew about the day, we looked at some information and then began making the connections back to heroic acts. Using the familiar topic, we tested out our definitions. We ended class by using the somber mood of the day to put some positive action back in the world. Students thought of "I will..." statements whether they were small or big in order to do something positive for their family, school, and/or community.
