Another article in the Tribune was about an educator who personalizes the events of 9-11 when he talks about a friend who was murdered that day.
My students certainly had a lot of 9-11 on that day. As soon as I learned about the attack at about 9:30 a.m., that became my lesson plan for the day. We couldn't get TV reception, so listened to the radio in all my classes after that. That was also the subject of all my classes the rest of the week.
I had them write a 500-word account of their experiences on that day, and I did that with all my classes for the next five years before I retired in 2006.
2012 marks the 200th anniversary of America's "Forgotten War," the War of 1812 that took place over three years, 1812 to 1815.
Battle of New Orleans.
