September 11th Creative Writing Assignment

Next week is the 12th anniversary of the September 11th attacks and I would like for all of you to reflect on this event.  The expressions "Never Forget" and "Remember" are words that are seen almost everywhere when it comes to this day in American history.  We must learn from history so that the same mistakes and events do not repeat themselves.

With that said, for the purposes of this assignment I would like you to find an image that deals with September 11th or if you are artistic you can draw an image yourself.  Once you have the image I want you to write either a poem or short story from the perspective of that image.
For example:

With this image I would write from the perspective of a firefighter that was there and what they were going through.

Grading Rubric:
*If you write a poem it should be at least 24 lines long.  It does not have to rhyme.

*If you write a short story it should be at least 250 words or more.

*It must be typed, 12 point font, double spaced

Due:
September 11th (Periods 2&6) and September 12th (Periods 1 &3)
