Summer Reading Resources
This is a resource page- you may not have any background knowledge about 9/1/2001. This is a collection of videos and articles about 9/11/2001. These are appropriate for middle school level, but you (and your parents/guardians) are always the judge of what you can handle to watch. Watching these videos or reading these articles prior to reading the book will help you prepare to read it. If you read the book first, the videos and articles will still deepen your knowledge of the story. (None of this is required!)
