This interactive timeline chronicles the events of 9/11 using images, audio and video from the 9/11 Memorial Museum's permanent collection. The timeline tells the story of the day as it unfolded in the air and on the ground. It's filled with first-person accounts from survivors, first responders and witnesses. Please note: Due to the nature of events related to the Sept. 11 attacks, the timeline contains some graphic images and sensitive content. Parents may want to first review the site before sharing it with young children.
The National September 11 Memorial & Museum has partnered with the New York City Department of Education and the New Jersey Commission on Holocaust Education to develop a set of 9/11 lessons for K-12 classrooms. The lesson plans are divided into multiple themes and across grade level spans. Each lesson draws upon artifacts and oral histories from the 9/11 Memorial Museum collection. They are written for use throughout the school year and across subjects, including Social Studies, History, English Language Arts, and Art. Each lesson is also aligned to the Common Core Standards to ensure relevance in teaching.
This teacher guide was developed in 2010 in partnership with the September 11th Education Trust and the Social Studies School Service. In the aftermath of the attacks, many people chose to respond through a range of artistic channels as part of the healing, recovery, and rebuilding process. In studying these responses, we learn how art is not only a means for self-expression, but can also serve as a vehicle for community-building and personal growth. Accompanying this teacher’s guide is a downloadable poster of “Lady Liberty,” a remarkable and inspiring example of response art to 9/11.
