Here's another StoryCorps 9/11 animation. One thing to consider when you share YouTube with students are the text comments that follow the videos. You wouldn't think anyone would have anything negative or profane to say about the video below, but sadly you'd be mistaken.
Even though this video is embedded in the blog, a viewer can connect to YouTube by clicking on the YouTube icon in the lower right. Many terrible comments are posted with the most innocent videos by people called "haters". My belief is that most "haters" are teenagers. Perhaps, instead of avoiding these comments, we should address them with students. Freedom of speech is a protected right in the United States, but it's sad to think that our service people are dying for thoughts like these.
I really liked this. It makes you really think of the ones you love.
