Hey,

today we started the last sequence of the year about "Memories of 9/11" studying first what you as children remembered from the World Trade Center attack and then focusing on Obama's speech after the death of Osama Bin Laden.

Here is what we said:

Osama bin Laben's death: A topical issue

In this document, Barack Obama announces the death of Osama bin Laden. He says his action as the Al-Quaeda leader was atrocious. He recalls the worst terrorist attack of the U.S.: 9-11 2001.
He draws a timeline / chronology of events :
1- The two hijacked planes which crashed into the world Trade Center/ Twin Towers.
2- The cloud of black smoke above the Pentagon.
3- The towers which collapsed to the ground.
4- The plane which crashed in Pennsylvania where "heroic passengers / pilots / citizens saved" a lot of people.
5- The thousands of people (children, women, and men) who were killed.

Finally, we had time to watch the other video, which is the reactions of some kids to Barack Obama's announcement. You can watch it below:

HW: for next time, you need to prepare reactions to this video, both about the content of the video and about what you felt when you saw it first.
