INTRODUCE
EXPLAIN: New York City is home to millions of people from everywhere in the United States and the world. People come to visit from even more places each year, either for work or for fun. After the terrorist attack, so many people were sad not only because of the terribleness of the attack itself, but also because they knew and loved New York City.
DISCUSS: What do you know about New York City?
EXPLAIN: One of the ways people did and do show their love for NYC is through a classic design, I HEART NY, which can be found on everything from t-shirts to bumper stickers to whatever you can imagine! People wore that symbol a lot in the days of 9/11 to show support for New York City and its people.
