5. It was about this family who lost their father on 9/11 and they were getting money form the government to help the kids go in to colleges. The kids were also talking bout their father and how they know he is still with them.
6. When the girl Bridget Fisher said she wanted to become an engineer like her father that died to follow his footsteps so he would be very proud touched.
7. I was very happy to know that the government was helping people who lost loved ones on 9/11 with money. I was also sad to hear that they lost their father on 9/11/.

5. This article was about a first hand experience this man had on September 11, 2001. He lived reight next to the World Trade Center. He saw everything that happened that day, from the planes hitting, to the buildings falling. To this day, he is still very traumatized.
6. The most striking thing I thought was when he saw and heard Tower 2 buckle and then 110 stories fall to the street with a huge cloud of dust.
7. When i first read this article, I was very shocked. I can’t even imagine what this must have been like, seeing everything unfold in front of you. It was even worse because it happened so close to his home. Nothing this bad should happen, yet alone near the place you call “home”.
1. Title: 9/11 Attack Victims Honored 6 Years Later
2. Author: New York (AP)
3.Media: News Article
4.Website: http://WWW.CNN.COM
5.Summary: Even after six years since 9/11 people still fell the pain and sorrow of their lost loved ones. They all show their honor in a moment of silence on Tuesday, 9-11-07. For all the victims in the tragedy of World Trade Center.
6.The most striking thing I read in the article was the firefighters and first responders who helped rescue thousands that day in 2001 and later recovered the dead were to read the victims’ names for the first time. The word “victims” and “dead” caught my attention on that small section.
7.My reaction towards the article was sorrow, thinking of how all those people had lost a loved one that day, I cried after finding different videos and articles. So I settled mysef for the one less painful to me.
sorry; forgot the period.

3. Video.
4.MSNBC
5. This video shows exactly what happened on September 11, 2001. It explains how when the planes got hijacked, they flew around in circles and out of the route to shut off the tracking device on radar so no one could find them in the air. Right before the first crash, passangers began to realize that they wouldn’t make it off the plane alive, so they called all their family members to say their last goodbyes..
6. The most striking thing i saw was showing a diagram, explaining exactly how the buildings collapsed, because all the metal bars in the buildings got knocked out & flew back when the plane hit it. This cause the building to burn & fall by the levels, one by one.
7. I was born in New York City & i was starting 2nd grade when this tragedy happened. At first i didn’t know what was going on, then everyone had to leave the school, so i knew it was bad. I got home and i saw the smoke from my window on the 14th floor. That was when things started to get even worse, another plane crashed into the 2nd building. It’s very sad to see how someone can plan all this, and could go through with killing thousands of innocent people in a few hours. It’s VERY upsetting. Especially if you knew someone that passed away, like my best friend’s dad. But what this did was just get people even more afraid of the world & even more mad that something like this could ever happen.

5. the summary of this video is a guy who was working in the second tower on the 105th floor. It shows you the recording of the conversation that he had with a 911 operator while he was in the burning tower. Before they could get to him, he died when the piece of the world trade center fell and he was in it.
6. the most striking thing in the video that i saw was in the beginning when they showed the plane crashing into the first building.
7. My reaction to the video was that i was scared and terrifed because before my grandma moved down here she lived up in New York and worked across the street from the world trade center and took ground zero to work every morning and walked through the center everyday and night. it made me scared that if she didn’t move down here before this happened that she would be dead. so it scared me.

5. The summary of the piece I used is that it was about a 13 year old girl named Juliette Kessler. She was talking about her memory of the 9/11 attack. At the time she was in a school a few blocks away from the World trade center. She remembers her friend’s dad coming in and telling the staff that they needed to get the children to safety. Her mom came in a pulled her out of class and she put her head on her mom’s shoulder so she would not see everything.
There was also some news about the museum and all the stuff that is left from the World trade center. There were so many things left. Lot of iron that was all twisted up.
6. The most striking thing that I read was the different stuff that was in the museum. There were bikes twisted up still on the bike racks and a lot of twisted up iron from the buildings.
7. My reaction is that it was probably a sad thing to have to go through, seeing all that stuff and having all those memories. If it was me then I would have not gone to the museum and brought back all those memories.

5) Ceremonies in Washington, New
York and Pennsylvania mark the
sixth anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
Senator Richard Lugar told General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker that due to deeply seated sectarian divisions, the U.S. is facing “extraordinarily narrow margins for achieving our goals.”
Sen. Barack Obama said that despite modest gains from the surge, “this continues to be a disastrous foreign policy mistake.”
6) One thing that was sort of confusing was when the article said that there were ceremonies of marking the 9-11 attacks (why would you celebrate such a tragedy?!). Also that how can the attack of 9-11 be a “foreign mistake”- that is so ridiculous. In my opinion how can something so enormous be a mistake?!
7) I feel that the attack of 9-11 is really popping up many questions in my head about why it happened, and also that what limits does the u.s. still need, to achieve our goals.I feel curious but at the same time a little frustrated at how can an attack like this be a mistake. I also feel that i should have recognized this day more because its an imporatnt day and to see who died and fought for us and makes us who we are today.

the most striking thing i read was that the rescuers from 9/11 got ill with respritory problems.
my reaction is that 9/11 was a tragic event and that we honor the people who not only died, but those who lived and those who put their lives on the line to help people survive.

Juliette Kessler was in second grade when she saw the towers collapse. now she is our age, in 8th grade and she is sharing her experience.
The most striking thing was that this little girl was running through falling debri with her mother, looking back at the remains of the two beautiful, burning buildings and she was still able to retell the story today of how she survived.
It was surprising how this 7 year old girl was so brave that through it all, she was able to be strong and get through it.

6. The most striking thing i read was when she stated that “Americans and people of other nations, other faiths and cultures, continue to die as our President continues to use those who died on 9/11/2001 as justification for his own deluded and horrific purpose.” its sad that the president would do that, havent they suffered enough?
7. I feel really bad, as a fellow New Yorker, it’s sad to know that such a tragedy could happen so close to home. My Uncle saw the planes crash into the towers and he saw them fall. It’s really striking to see how cold and heartless people can be.

Media- print article
Website- http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/12/nyregion/11service.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slogin ,
Summary- This article was about the ‘rainy unsimilar’ sunny day that the disaster happened and all the ceremonies that went through and that the ceremonies happened on Tuesday the same day the accident came.
Striking-what’s most striking to me in the article is that this guy said that he will never move on in his life until he gives his last breaths(dies).
Reaction- I feel that this attack of 9-11 was very sad and ugly, and for people not to want to move on is even sadder, which makes me a little mad because we remember this sad day , but can’t remember the good ones.

6. The most striking thing was, how she was so young, and she saw the twin towers blowing in flames right near by her.
7. My reaction was, I never knew really how much pain people went through. I never thought that nearby schools were closed down for about 5 months. And I would never think that a whole neighborhood would have to share what is in their refrigerator. I am now aware, and terrified.
1. What is the title? The title is called “September 11,2001.”

4.What website did you go to? (Use your notes) The website I went to was the New York Times.
5.What is the summary of the piece you used? (Use your notes) The summary of the piece I used was about the World Trade Center and how September 11, 2001 went down. It was a day that noone will ever forget. The country of Iraq and its people had been training for months for this day. They had planned every little thing from how they got onto the plane until they crashed into the twin towers. It went from a quiet morning into a tragic afternoon that will be held in American history forever. Nearly 3,000 people died that very day. When they all got onto those planes they had no plans for their plane to be hijacked and to have their lives swept away. Either did the firefighters, and workers in the buildings. The same thing went for the pentagon. Although this was tragic Americans all over have learned that six years later it was not an end.
6.What is the most striking thing you read, saw, or heard in it? (Use your notes) The most striking thing I read was how nearly 3,000 people died. Not only that but to see how cruel people really are. I thought there was no reason for anyone to do that. However it happened and that’s the hard thing to get over.
7.What is your reaction to your piece? (Use your notes & feelings) The reaction to my piece was that life is important. So when you think about it you should live every second of the day and live life to the fullest because you never know what can happen until it’s all taken away. This was the newspapers main point.

3. It is an article
4. I went to MSNBC.COM
5. The article is about Will Femia, who is an MSNBC employee, who lived and still lives about two blocks away from where the World Trade Center used to be. The article explains the fear and terror that Femia experienced during the attacks on the Twin Towers while he was sitting in his one bedroom apartment.
6. The most striking things about it is how he describes the attack and how the ground is shaking and rumbling and there is thick black smoke running past his windows making it impossible for him to see outside. He even said his life was flashing before his eyes and how he imagined himself becoming a “soon to be a skeleton standing at a window”.
7. My personal reaction was being shocked and surprised because this man said himself he walked outside and took pictures of the Twin Towers after the first attack and walked back in. He thought that was it. But he experienced something many people never and will never experience. He sat at his window and watched this whole episode occur. To me that is shocking because I would be having a million thoughts racing through my head.

i was very impacted by what i read, i had no idea that many people died.

5. One year after the tragic attack, mourners attended a ceremony at Ground Zero in Manhattan to listen to the names of their loved ones read aloud. Families of the victims listened, cried, hugged, and placed roses where the towers used to lay. Only family members were allowed at the ceremony. However, for blocks in every direction, enormous crowds stood listening silently to all 2,801 names. Many waited nearly two and a half hours for the last name to be called. An orchestra played the Star-Spangled Banner and the Declaration of Independence was spoken to conclude the ceremony.
6. The most shocking phrase in the passage was “all 2,801 names”.
7. My reaction when I read the article was that I was surprised at the fact that people spent 3 hours to listen to all of the names of the victims.

5. The summary of this video is about an older man who was in the World Trade Center Building #2 when it was hit by the hi-jacked planes. He is trying to communicate with the operator so that they could help tell the Fire Department what floor he is on so that they can rescue him. However before they could save him a huge chink of the rest of the World Trade Center fell off or exploded its still not clear and inside of that piece was Kevin Cosgrove where he died.
6. The most striking thing that i saw was the part of the video when the part of the World Trade center fell off or exploded and you could here Kevin Cosgrove screaming and then the fone line suddeny goes dead.
7. The video made me feel sad because even just hearing the man screaming and seeing the rest of the World Trade Center cruumbling to bits was terrifying.

5. A girl named Juliette was only in the second grade when her mom came running into her school, picked her up and put Juliettes head on her shoulder. She remembers looking up from her shoulder and seeing two burning towers looming over them. But, for Juliette something else had happened. Inside the war zone her neighbors were helping strangers and rescue workers. Her home New York, NY was sticking together. For Juliette, this was one of the better memories of one of the worst days.
6. The most striking thing for me was hearing that she was as young as I was and she had the disadvantage of looking up and watching something like this happening.
7. My personal reaction was realizing how hard it must have been for Juliette. To live in a danger zone in the second grade and seeing something like the destruction of the twin towers happen. It had to be one of the worst things. I think that she is a very brave girl for being able to open up about something so life-changing.
1. The title of the story is Terror attacks hit U.S.
2. It was written by CNN

5. The story Iread was aabout what happened on 9/11. Also it said where the planes hit, how many were on the plane, what defences were taken, and it told me about how all landmarks and political areas were evacuated.
6. The one thing I read that shocked me the most was that President Bush said, “Make no mistake: The United States will hunt down and punish those responsible for these cowardly acts.” And here 6 years later and the war isn’t over.
7. My reaction is that we should fight for what is right. We shouldn’t let people walk all over us and kill people like they did on 9/11.

5. In this article, families reflect on what they felt on that tragic day. This was done at a gathering held every 9/11 to honor the victims. This time, it was held at a nearby park, instead of the actual site due to construction. People gathered at the park expressed how happy they were that they at least still had the ceremony. Plus, the article mentions how the rescuers and survivors are now having lung problems. They say that it is the effect of the toxic dust. Also, many important political people like George Bush were watched give his/her respect towards the event. An estimated amount of 3,500 family members went to the site to pay their respects for the 2,974 who died.
6. The most striking thing I read was when Marjorie Miller walked in the rain to the site and stated, “A lot of tears coming down from up there, and a lot of tears down here.” That struck me really hard because I can just imagine what she felt.
7. What was said made me feel so bad. These people are so strong, I couldn’t survive, feeling such grief. These people are what America is truly made of.
1. 9/11 attack victims honored six years later

5. That people who who’s family and friends as well as people who witnessed any of the crashes on 9/11 were being honored.

2. The Associated Press
3. Print article
4. CNN
5. The article was about the victims who attended the six year later of 9/11 cermony. The article was also about on how the victims felt towards their fallen loved ones after six years.
6. The most striking thing I read was that many of the rescuers now have respitory problems due to the World Trade Center towers’ toxic dust.
7. My reaction to the article was that I have great respect for the victims and people should still do something in memory of september 11, 2001 in many years to come.
1. your emails- how long should 9/11 tributes continue?
2. it did not say who wrote it.
3. it was a print article
4. i went to the CNN web site
5.today marks 6 years since 9/11 occured. the united states paused the day to name the victims in 9/11. these readings are done in New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington.CNN asked people to post thier feeling on this tragic day. many people, not just people from New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington posted.
6. the most striking thing i read was from – Steven Winslow of Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania. He said
“I think that the annual observances of those who lost their lives in the 9/11 terrorist attacks should continue on in perpetuity. We must never forget what happened, never give in to terror, and never forget that freedom is we must fight to preserve. Sacrificing liberty undermines everything that we as a country stand for and everything that those on 9/11 died for.”
7. my feeling for this is that we must never give up, stand up for what is right. believe and don’t let your country down. find a way to make things better.

2. Not exactly sure. It didn’t really say.
3. Video cast
4. I went to you tube.com (if that was ok)
5. The summary of the piece I used was about a man talking to an operator while in one of the twin towers.
6. The most striking this I saw, which really made my feelings come out was when the man was talking, out of the blue you hear a scream and then the phone line went dead as you see a twin tower collapsing.
7. My reaction was that I felt so strongly to it, that I was speechless and I cried. I just couldn’t believe that so many people died that way. I couldn’t stop crying until 5-10 minutes later.
I forgot to put that im in period 3.
Title:Heads bow in memory of 9/11 victims;presidential politics,health of ground zero crews linger.
Who created it:Unknown
What kind of media:Article
What website:http://www1.wsvn.com/news/articles/national/MI61101/
The summary of this article basically talked about how six years ago on Spetember 11,2001
hijacked planes crashed into the World Trade Center,the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field.As people clutched onto framed photos of their lost loved ones today on the sixth ann the firefighters and first responders who helped rescue them read the victims names off for the first time.They also had a memorial honoring Flight 93’a fourty passengers and crew.In Washington,President Bush had a moment of slience outside the White House,while General Perter Pace spoke beside the Pentagon where one of the hijacked planes broke through.A women qouted “A lot of tears coming down from up there,” while gesturing toward the sky”and a lot of tears down here”.
The most striking thing i read:2,974 victims were killed,2,750 connected the the World Trade Center,40 in Pennsylvania and 184 at the Pentagon.
My feelings:I cant believe someone would actually take the time to plot that idea out knwoing thousands of people would die and other thousands would be hurt and have family members in tears.How can you wake up in the morning and say I going to hijack a plane and crash it into a building of innocent people?It makes me wanna cry when i see videos and bulletins about how a bunch of horrible people could hurt so many,it gives me chills and im glad that i didn’t have any family members in that horffic incident. The people that woke up that one morning, went to work, kissed their family goodbye, & then never came home that night.

Title: Near Ground Zero, Much Is Changed on th Anniversary
Author: Cara Buckley
Kind of Media: online news article
Source: New York Times
Summary: September 11th fell on a Tuesday for the first time in 6 years. Tuesday was the same day of the week terrorists attached the United States by flying planes into the World Trade Center in Manhattan, New York. This year was the first time the ceromony wasn’t held at ground zero because there was construction going on at ground zero. the ceromony was held at Zuccotti Park in the southeastern corner. Families of the victims started arriving at 7 a.m. The ceromony started at 8:40 with the Brooklyn Youth Chorus singing ” the Star-Spangled Banner”. At 8:46, a bell was sounded to remeber the time when the first plane struck. In Washington, President Bush spent the day in the city after attending a service at St. John’s Episcopal Church. A ceromony was held at the Pentagon to remeber the 184 people that died when the plane crashed into the building. In Pennsylvania, a ceromony was held to honor the people who died in the United Flight 93. Families of crahs victims are trying to raise money to build a memorial. Back in New York, a man and a woman started sonfrontation with former mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani. they said the Giulaiani prevented them from having closure because he had the remains shipped to Staten Island to be dumped. Construction on ground zero was stopped for today but as the city began to wake up, bystanders looked at ground zero.
The most striking thing I read was that even though people were trying to remember their loved one that passed,people still wanted to argue about how the remains were shipped away.
My reaction is that I think it’s great that alot of people still attend the ceromonies to remeber the victims evn if they didnt know any of them.

Title 9/11 toxins caused death
By Associated press
What kind of media Newspaper artical
What website CNN.com
Summary NYC officially links toxic dust from WTC collapse to 9/11 toll . M.E. adds woman who died of lung disease to list of 9/11 deaths. Lawyer Felicia Dunn-Jones, 42, died five months after terror attacks. She was caught in dust cloud while fleeing towers.
Most striking that people keep on dieing later after the attack because of the toxic dust.
My reaction It’s crazy that all of these people are dieing while its was happening and after it happened i think it is just sick.

5. A girl going to her third day of second grade at ps 234 when she finds out about a plane hitting the towers. She was grabbed by her mother who carried Juliette to safety protecting her from shrapnel. For her something else happened that day, the city was at it’s best people of all kinds coming together helping each other. To Juliette this was one of the better memories in New York.
6. The most striking thing I read was that this girl went to her third day of second grade a few blocks away really hitting me at the heart.
7. My reaction from this is that how hard can it be to get over a tragedy when you yourself were in the danger zone at 6 years old . Seeing all the chaos in front of your eyes and being so scared about what happened then six years later opening up to tell people about it . I think she has a lot of courage to tell about this time with others.
1. The title is Rabbi’s 9/11 Chant.
2. Irwin Kula made the audio.
3. It was an audio tape.
4. I went to the Washington Post.
5. It is a rabbi chanting the final messages and conversations of people trapped in the plane and the world trade center.
6. It surprised me that the people cared more about others than themselves.
7. It made me sad. One message seemed like it was from a small child.
