September 11th Webquest /40

On September 11, 2001, there was an attack on America.There are some men that decided that they didn’t like what America stands for: freedom, liberty, and the rights of men and women of all races, backgrounds, and beliefs. So on the morning of September 11, 2001, they hijacked four planes and attacked America in a terrible way.Two of the airplanes were crashed into the World Trade Center in New York City. The third plane crashed into the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. The last plane was going to crash into another building in Washington, D.C., but the passengers stopped the hijackers, and the plane crashed into a field instead.Thousands of people lost their lives through these attacks. Hundreds of people were on the planes. Thousands died in the buildings that were hit by those planes.The men that arranged this terrible attack wanted Americans to feel afraid and disorganized. They wanted to make people who live in this country do what they say by threatening us. The people of the United States are a strong group of people. Keep faith in who you are and what our country stands for and we will become even stronger than before.After learning about the events of 9/11, you will work to create aproject that captures the images and memories of 9/11.
