What can you learn about September 11th?

Today, you are going to investigate September 11th THROUGH OUR FIVE LENSES using primary and secondary sources.

•  Using QRAFTER, scan each of the stations. You have three options:, !  Starting with Station One and scan each station one at a time. !  Scan all ten stations at once; start with 10 and work down to 1 so

that they are in your history in the correct order – the last scan will be the first in your history.

!  Do a Batch Scan (option in Qrafter) and scan all 10 with your camera starting with Station One.

•  Once you scan, return to your seat to work individually, answering the two questions IN SENTENCES. YOU WILL HAVE TODAY AND FRIDAY TO FINISH THESE IN CLASS. Your completed Stations Handout is due on Tuesday, 9/22. Please do your best work, write in complete sentences, and keep track of your handout!

•  You need headphones for Station Two.

Thinking Like an Historian

Examine  and  evaluate  primary  and  secondary  sources  to  inves4gate  the  past.    •  What  happened?  •  Where,  when,  and  why  did  it  happen?  •  Who  was  involved?  •  How  do  we  know  this?  •  Is  the  source  reliable  and  unbiased?  •  What  does  the  source  reveal  about  the  

culture?  •  Comparing  sources,  can  we  see  a  paHern  

or  trend?  

Thinking Like a Geographer

Inves4gate  how  geography  influences  a  culture.    •  What  are  the  physical  geographic  

features  of  the  locaJon?  •  What  natural  resources  are  available?  •  How  has  climate  impacted  the  culture?  •  How  have  humans  altered  the  

environment?  •  What  is  the  influence  of  or  interacJon  

with  nearby  cultures?  

Thinking Like an Economist Examine  how  a  culture  produces  and  exchanges  goods  and  services.    •  How  do  compeJJon,  government  

regulaJon,  and  incenJves  influence  what  is  produced  and  how  it  is  produced?  

•  How  are  goods  and  services  exchanged?  •  What  career  choices  are  available?  •  What  items  are  more  valued  and  in  

demand  (scarcity)?  •  What  cost/benefit  choices  are  made  by  

individuals,  companies,  and  governments?    What  are  the  present  and  future  consequences  of  those  choices?  

Thinking Like a Citizen

Inves4gate  how  government,  society,  and  individual  ci4zens  interact.    •  How  can  a  ciJzen  parJcipate  in  civic  life  

in  an  informed  and  responsible  way?    •  What  is  the  relaJonship  between  

individual  rights  and  personal  responsibility?    

•  What  are  the  responsibiliJes  of  a    government  to  its  ciJzens?  

Thinking Like a Cultural Anthropologist

Examine  humans  in  place  and  4me.    •  What  knowledge,  beliefs,  morals,  art,  

entertainment,  laws,  and  customs  are  shared  in  a  society?  How  do  they  change  over  Jme?    How  do  they  compare  with  those  in  other  socieJes?  

•  How  do  trade,  communicaJon,  and  the  movement  of  people  and  ideas  influence  culture?
