I teach English 9 and 11, both self contained and gen. ed. in Woodbridge, Virginia. Since we are so close to Washington, D.C., 9/11 is an important topic of discussion in my classes. Even though my students were not born, they have family and friends that were deeply affected by the tragedy. It is an excellent opportunity to have them interview an adult and report on that person's memories/experiences. I look forward to learning from and contributing to this group.

Welcome! And yes, since K-12 students were not born when the attacks happened, it's vital that we, as teachers, prioritize the event in our curriculum. The upcoming 20th anniversary is an excellent opportunity to do so.
