9/11: Kamila Shamsie's "Our Dead, Your Dead"

Over the weekend (9/9-9/11), students should read Kamila Shamsie's "Our Dead, Your Dead," one of seven stories commissioned by the Guardian newspaper on the tenth anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks in the United States.  The story provides an international perspective on living with terrorism and the events of 9/11. 

During the last class period before the weekend, Mr. Stone shared his memories of 9/11, related the experience to the San Bernardino shootings of 2015, and discussed the classroom safety plans with the students.

Mr. Stone encouraged students to discuss family emergency/safety plans with their parents/guardians over the weekend.
