How 9/11 is explained for young audiences
Posted: Tue Jun 07, 2011 1:07 pm§
Fairly recently stumbled on a link to a teacher's resource about how to teach current events in the classroom - the article was about the alleged killing of OBL, and the link led to a Flash cartoon about September, 11th neatly concluding with the recent news of OBL's death. The cartoon is what you might expect - a basic sketch of the official story. Thought it might be interesting to point out, maybe someone can coax something more out of it (HMW??)

About the only redeeming quality of the cartoon, to me, was this small part reminding the kidz that Islam is a mostly peaceful religion.
The rest of it is garbage, IMO.
There's also a September 11th Lesson Plan, but I haven't registered to view or download that yet.

Another interesting thing to post here would be the 9/11 comic book/graphic novel that came out years ago (I think it was published by Marvel ). I remember getting it from the library and being struck by the fact that it was just crap. I'll see if I can find a scan of it online....
