Homework for Monday, April 2, and Wednesday April 4

For Monday, April 2, read and annotate pp. 1-26 in your abridged edition of The 9/11 Commission Report. Keep in mind that the footnotes for this section are on p. 26. Also, remember to use the Cast of Characters (pp. 27-31) and the Glossary of Acronyms (pp. 32-33) to identify any persons or agencies that are unfamiliar to you.

For Wednesday, April 4, read and annotate pp. 35-65 of The 9/11 Commission Report. Keeping in mind the strategies used by E. B. White in "Once More to the Lake," write at least one page (but not more than two) that describes the events of that day using both your memories and the details you have learned so far from the Report and the links above.

Over the April break, you should finish reading The 9/11 Commission Report. If you don't, you will have to both read it and write several assignments about it at the same time.
