The Pack contains associated resources for the learning experience, typically in the form of articles and videos. There is a teacher Pack (with only teacher information) and a student Pack (which contains only student information). As a teacher, you can toggle between both to see everything.
Here are the teacher pack items for Current Trends in U.S. Foreign Policy:
Overview
In this experience, students create a What We Know chart about the 9/11 attacks. Then they learn about the U.S. response to the attacks and the War on Terror. Next they explore Donald Trump’s policy of neo-isolationism and write an op-ed article evaluating changes in foreign policy. Finally they research a private American citizen who won a Nobel Peace Prize for work in an international organization. Objectives
The twenty-first century began with an event that has had a major impact on U.S. foreign policy: the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The U.S. response to those attacks is called the War on Terror.
Objectives
One of the hijacked jets flies into the World Trade Center
In the table below, list something that you know about the September 11 terrorist attacks. If someone has already listed what you know, try to post something else. If you do not know much about the event, that is okay—post a question that you have about it.
Students are not required to post to the chart in order to move on. Use the chart to get a reading of what students already know about 9/11. This lesson focuses on the response to the attacks, not the details of the attacks themselves. The facts that students should know before moving on to the War on Terror: Interested students can use the links in the Student Pack to learn more about the attacks.
