This page will include a collection of TEK based activities to help subject other than U.S. History incorporate and discuss the events of 9-11-2001. We need to make sure students never forget about the attack on our nation and the loss of nearly 3,000 lives at the World Trade Center New York City, The Pentagon Washington D.C., and United Flight 93’s struggle over Shanksville Pennsylvania.
