HISTORY Classroom Programming: Making the 9/11 Memorial Monday, September 9, at 6am/5c In the wake of the 9/11 attacks, Americans from all walks of life joined together to rebuild the area around the World Trade Center. As time passed, a huge decision loomed at the site: what was the best way to memorialize and pay tribute to those who lost their lives? This 1-hour HISTORY special is a behind-the-scenes exploration of the process of constructing the 9/11 Memorial, from its inception through its installation. An architect named Michael Arad was the winner of a worldwide competition to design a memorial for the site. Arad's design, entitled "Reflected Absence" is situated on 8 acres of land near the Twin Towers site, with two waterfalls cascading into reflecting pools below the surface of the ground. Bronze parapets at the site are inscribed with the names of those who lost their lives on 9/11 and in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. This program gives students an opportunity to reflect on the significance of 9/11 through the eyes of those who conceptualized and created this meaningful memorial. View the classroom guide.

Curriculum Links: Making the 9/11 Memorial would be useful for U.S. History, Current Events, Social Issues, and Politics courses and for activities related to 9/11 commemorations.

	H2 Programming: 9/11: Relics from the Wreckage Tuesday, September 10, at 10/9c How do you honor the memory and legacy of over 3,000 lives lost to the terror attacks of 9/11? That is the challenge facing the creators of the National 9/11 Memorial Museum. They must commemorate the fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, and children who never came home that day in 2001, while preparing to educate generations of visitors who weren't even born when the attacks took place. Museum President Joe Daniels introduces us to the museum still under construction and the artifacts they've chosen to tell the story of 9/11 for the world to witness. This program gives students a way to reflect on 9/11 through learning the stories behind significant artifacts that survived the attacks. The artifacts featured in this program are also available online at http://www.history.com/topics/remembering-911. These videos provide an opportunity to honor and commemorate those who lost their lives on 9/11 and to explore the historical significance of the 9/11 attacks.
