Teaching about September 11
An essay on educating students to think beyond self and country
to all humanity. education must be about developing the skills and
disposition to question the official story, to view with skepticism
the stark us-against-them (or us good, them bad) portrait of the
world and theaccompanying dehumanization of others that helps to
explain that empathy deficit. Students should also be able to recognize
dark historical parallels in the President's rhetoric, and to notice
what is not being said or shown on the news.

life-issues for kids aged 9 to 13, has launched its new "Emotions"
channel. The channel features a special section on September 11th,
which aims to inform and empower kids on the ongoing issues related
to last year's terrorist attacks. Topics include: common fears,
media literacy, volunteerism, and diversity; featured throughout
are the first-hand thoughts, opinions, and experiences of kids across
the country, including two brothers who live at "Ground Zero."
Kids have the opportunity to post their own comments, take polls,
and watch video clips of children discussing their feelings and
ways of coping; also available are offline activities such as a
journal page, book list, and discussion questions, as well as material
for parents and teachers. This site is a positive, proactive resource
designed to be relevant for months and years to come.
