Lesson Overview
The attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 shocked the nation. Citizens and servicemen were caught off guard and left vulnerable to the Japanese attacks. Sixty years later in 2001, the United States endured additional attacks that brought about tremendous grief, trauma, as well as hope for a more unified nation.
In the poetry project, Two Voices: Pearl Harbor and 9/11, students will evaluate the “voices” of Pearl Harbor and 9/11 through primary and secondary sources, tableau, and writing poetry.
Essential Question
How can we use poetry speak for the aftermath of Pearl Harbor and the terror attacks of September 11, 2001?
