1. Teacher Guide This lesson is designed to teach kids to ask a critical thinking question that you can’t just put into a search box to solve. To do that, we encourage them with smaller questions that search can help them answer. Make sure that you read the notes for each slide: they not only give you teaching tips but also provide answers and hints so you can help the kids if they are having trouble.

3. The National September 11 Memorial plaza in Manhattan opened to the public on September 12, 2011; the museum opened on May 21 this year. Inside the museum, visitors descend to the bedrock foundation that once supported the World Trade Center towers to see artifacts of the events of 9/11 and remembrances of the victims. A visit here is just one way to remember and honor all who were lost, and those who responded to the call for help. Recently the 9/11 Day of Service movement has become a way for anyone, anywhere, to participate in memorials by performing good deeds, no matter how small or large.
