It was all so surreal, this was the United States of America it couldn't happen here.

I just wrote my lesson plans for my high school social studies class for tomorrow: 9/11 Remembrance Research assignment. They’re going to read about it on various websites and answer some questions and write a few paragraphs. These kids were quite young when 9/11 occurred.
