Lesson Plans
LET'S GET STARTED!
Get started helping your students learn about 9/11 by following this process:
- Watch Global Game Changers “Learning 9/11” animated movie as an introduction to the events of 9/11.
- Explore the Heroes Experiences to step into the shoes of 9/11 first responders.
- Check out the Virtual Museum Galleries based on your learning objectives or interests.
- View and download our 34-page Activity Book
- Engage in service to honor 9/11.
DON'T FORGET!
We have tips for teaching 9/11.
The Global Game Changers want to engage in the 9/11 National Day of Service and Remembrance, but they don’t know where to start. When they realize one of their own doesn’t know about what happened, they jump into action and find a great way to share 9/11 and inspire service!
