I loved having this resource to help me approach the topic of 9/11. The students were very engaged, and really enjoyed the discussions that we had around these activities. I did assign them through Easel, but I think next time I will print them for students to have a hard copy. We had trouble with Easel disconnecting for some students and not saving all of their work.
