September 11th is the most defining moment of my lifetime. Time stood still that day and it felt like the whole world shifted. Your assignment is to
1. create 5 interview questions about 9/11 (use your notes on George W. Bush to help guide you)
2. interview someone who was alive (and old enough to remember) during 9/11 using your 5 questions
3. record their answers and submit to Google Classroom
*you can submit your interview questions and answers through written response or video
*sample questions could be “What were you doing when you learned of the planes flying into
the World Trade Center?” “What were your feelings/emotions as you learned of the attacks?”

Using the PowerPoint on Ronald Reagan and the completed notes on Google Classroom, either find a political cartoon of your choice about Ronald Reagan’s presidency or use the one I have provided and write a paragraph of what message you think the artist is trying to portray in the cartoon. In your paragraph make sure to write about what you think the overall message of the cartoon is and what objects, people, visual cues the artist uses to portray their message. Use the notes I posted to help you understand the context of his Presidency. When you submit your paragraph, make sure you include either a link to your cartoon or copy and paste the cartoon into your document if you choose to use one you found. Submit to Google Classroom.
