Northeast Middle School remembers 9/11

Most students in schools weren’t born when 9/11 took place. Teaches at Northeast Middle school are doing their part in teaching students about the tragic event.

For some, the tragic events that took place on 9/11 are a haunting memory. For the students here at Northeast Middle School, the date 9/11/2001 is an Era of a sad time in American history of a terrorist attack on American soil. 6th grade English teacher Gabriel Webster tells us why teaching about 9/11 in the classroom is important.

“I think it's important because at this time, the students weren't alive when this happens. And so they don't have a lot of knowledge and no memory of it at all.”

There are many different ways to inform and teach students about the event of 9/11 but webster tells us why she decided on a poem.

“I think poems also can show us a different way. They give us a different feeling than just reading a passage or narrative, and we kind of have to dig a little deeper into them.”

As a way to teach students about the tragedy that took place on 9/11 Ms. Webster hopes the poem gives a better understanding .

“So hopefully by doing that, not only do they understand it better, but they can get the sense of, okay, this is saying, okay, I feel sad now, but we can be hopeful at the end.”

With the students learning of the tragic event there is was also an underlying message that she hopes her students retain.

“And while a lot of people actually lost their lives, but we came together as a nation and tried to help each other.”
