United StatesBeyond Blame: Reacting to the 9/11 Terrorist Attack
 |
 |
In response to the September 11, 2001 terrorist tragedy and subsequent attacks against Arab-Americans, Education Development Center, Inc. developed this curriculum for middle and high school students, focusing on issues of justice and mislaid blame. |
This introduction provides background information and teaching suggestions for a three-lesson unit (for middle and high school students) focusing on issues of justice and mislaid blame. In the first lesson from the Beyond Blame curriculum, students will learn about the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, express their emotions about the events, and talk about people being targeted wrongly out of anger or revenge. You will need additional handouts for this lesson. The second lesson in Beyond Blame: Reacting to the Terrorist Attack deals with the reactions Americans had toward Japanese Americans after Pearl Harbor in 1941. You will need handouts for this lesson. | The third lesson in Beyond Blame: Reacting to the Terrorist Attacks helps students to examine the possible repercussions of the terrorist attacks on the U.S. and what they can do to act nonviolently. You will need additional handouts for this lesson. Web and offline resources are given for each of the lessons in Beyond Blame: Reacting to the Terrorist Attacks. This list of activities is designed to help students cope with and understand the terrorist attacks on the U.S. on September 11, 2001. This three-lesson unit will help middle and secondary students to cope with, understand, and move beyond the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States. NOTE: This PDF is the complete unit -- 33 pages. |
