Analyzing the Visuals of 9/11 Anniversary
Frank Baker and Renee Hobbs explore the visual representation of the 20th anniversary of September 11, 2001 to demonstrate how media literacy competencies can be seamlessly woven into the elementary, middle-school and high school classroom. Kara Clayton shares the Memories of 911 platform and explains how you can use it with students to promote empathy and inquiry.
