genocides. This lesson focuses on educating students about the potential power of monuments and memorials as they reflect the values of a society. Students will have the opportunity to create a monument or a memorial out of clay and to write an artists statement. This lesson is best taught in conjunction with the Facing History curriculum but it is certainly adaptable to fit other courses of study. Memorializing September 11, 2001 (http://www.educationworld.com/a_tsl/archives/02-1/lesson008.shtml) The events of 9-11 were unlike any experienced in Americas history. Whereas many events and people memorialized in public art (e.g.: the Civil War, the Holocaust) are less accessible to students, history is palpable for students who lived through this event. In this lesson, students are given the opportunity to remember the victims who lost their lives on that fateful day by creating a memorial while also gaining practice presenting orally. Presidential Monuments (http://www.nea.org/tools/lessons/Presidential-Monuments.html) For students studying American history, the images of Mount Rushmore, the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial and the Jefferson Memorial are familiar. This lesson allows students to choose a President and design a monument to honor him and his achievements. This is a good way for students to review the achievements and accomplishments of the American Presidents who students have studied in depth.
