A selection of resources aimed at EBD children. Dyslexic friendly. These resources challenge and develop students knowledge of Afghanistan and it’s religious laws, Bin Laden and his involvement in 911 and the event of 911 itself. You need copies of The Kite Runner to read or see along with the video of the 911 impact. I had major success with these resources and have included photo’s i have taken myself at ground zero in the worksheets.

Introduction to 9/11 as part of a scheme on terrorism. Brief explanation of Al Qaeda before looking at what happened and a look at why it was shocking.
This lesson has been a long one in the making. Having found resources from all over the web, edited my own video compiling footage from 9.11 and interviews from Geroge Bush and Osama Bin Laden, this lesson aims to give as an impartial view of 9.11 as possible. It includes neo-conservative explanations for 9.11, to Noam CHomsky esque critique of American Foreign Policy that Michael Moore would be proud of, and even allows al-Qaeda to explain their opinion.
Obviously it makes explicit that targetting civilians is never, under any circumstances, acceptable, but tries to explain that 9.11 was a complicated event with historical, cultural, social and religious causes using a redacted and edited document which summarises complicated historical commentary into a digestible PDF.
It even includes a brief mention of conspiracy theories for those more inquisitive students.
Above all, it encourages critical thought and human compassion.
A wide range of differentiated and extension activities here.
Learning Questions:
What was 9/11?
How did it cause a war?
Why did the the USA and al-Qaeda say it happened?
Ext: Why do you think it happened?
Independent, group and whole class activities included to bolster engagement and learning. There’s enough for at least 2 lessons here. But I’m selling it as one, because I’m nice like that.
