These students weren’t alive on 9/11. They’re reading letters from teens who were.

In a unique teaching approach, John Buglione's students are diving into letters written by their older selves after the 9/11 attacks, offering a direct line into the emotions and reflections of teenagers who lived through the tragedy. This project not only helps them grasp the historical context but also fosters empathy and a deeper understanding of how pivotal events shape collective memory. By engaging with these personal accounts, today's students gain insights into the human response to crisis, highlighting the enduring impact of 9/11 on a generation.
