3. What I Want to Know | In the second column of your paper, write down any questions or things you want to know about 9/11.

4. Visualizing Ground Zero | Exploring the World Trade Center site.

5. Documentary | Zero Hour
Three things to keep in mind about this video:

1. This documentary has live footage of the events, some of it graphic and shocking.
2. This documentary includes personal interviews and survivor accounts which piece together anecdotal evidence of the events.
3. This documentary was written by Americans, for Americans. It is biased and sometimes stereotypes/generalizes Muslims and Middle Eastern people. It is also a fantastic window into the post-9/11 opinions/reactions of the American people. 

6. What I Learned | In the last column write down what you learned about 9/11.
