10 min / Warm Up: KWL to gage prior knowledge of 9/11. Things you know, things you think you know, and things you wonder about.
Students will be given a chart and visuals. They will be given 5 minutes to jot down their thoughts on the chart according to these titles.
Focus Lesson/Modeling: Once students have returned to their seats, I will read off a few of the thoughts from each chart to gage student background knowledge and what they hope to know by the end of the lesson.
Once we’ve done this, students will then watch a Nick News video of what happened on that day. At the end of the video I will take questions on the video and clarify any misunderstandings. Most questions and items from the “things I wonder” section from the beginning of the lesson will be saved for the end.
Guided Instruction/Small Group Instruction: SW work collaboratively to jot down some of the Geographical influences of the attack on 9/11 using the video and a map of Manhattan. Students should point out New York City, Pennsylvania, Washington, DC. Boston, Mass., Newark, NJ, etc.
After they have jotted these locations down, we will write them in our PERSIA charts (students will have individual charts and we will have a class chart)
Within the chart we will write down the geographical influences we agree on and discuss why these are influences as well as those that are not.
We will then move onto Political influences. Using the nick news video and reading passage, students will figure out political/group leaders, wars that occurred after the attack, who was caught, etc. Examples: President George W. Bush, AL Qaeda, Osama Bin Laden, Islamic Extremist, terrorist,
To close, we will do an around the room recap of the political and geographical influences on the attack of 9/11. Students will be encouraged to review their notes on religious influences, which will be the topic for tomorrow. At this time they will also complete their exit ticket.
