Conduct an interview with someone who has a recollection of September 11, 2001. This person could be a parent, grandparent, teacher, etc. Use these guiding questions or include your own:
1. How old were you on September 11, 2001?
2. Where were you that morning?
3. How did you first hear about the what happened (or was happening) that day?
4. Tell me what you experienced.
