9/11 Themes

Although our resources are organised around five subjects, there are a number of themes linked to 9/11 that cut across subject boundaries. These provide another way of looking at 9/11 and help to make sense of the complexities that surround 9/11 as well as its far reaching consequences.

Each theme is developed in more detail through at least one of the subject topics, and in some cases through more than one topic. The themes are a good starting point when planning whole-school activities, as they focus directly on some of the key questions and issues that students might raise about 9/11 and encourage them to reflect on these openly, sensitively and critically.
