The Beginning of the War on Terror

Agenda 9/14:

  1. Students put themselves in the position of president Bush after 9/11. They worked on the following scenario. After, I played the role of president Bush and read excerpts from the 2003 state of the union speech, laying out the case for the invasion of Iraq. Students listened and acted as reporters in a follow-up mock press conference.
Consider this scenario and respond to the questions.
The United States was attacked by terrorists. The World Trade center towers have collapsed, the Pentagon has been damaged, and thousands are dead. Osama bin Laden and his terrorist network, Al Qaeda are responsible. You are the president. How do you respond?

  • What will you do to keep Americans safe at home?
  • What will you do to punish those responsible?
