Internet Activity
"One Day, Now Broken in Two," Anna QuindlenImages, Broken in Two
Anna Quindlen uses the image of a fragile broken bowl that has been glued together to depict the United States after 9-11. Other artists have worked with photographs, words, sculpture, or song to show their view of the effect 9-11 had on our society.

Choose three pictures or images from an Internet search. The first should represent the United States before 9-11. The second should represent 9-11. The third should represent the United States after 9-11. The goal is to have these three images tell the story of how you believe 9-11 affected the United States people; how that day affected our perception of ourselves.

Key Words:

September 11
After 9-11
Building on Ground Zero
The images you select do not have to be images of New York or ground zero. After you have selected the three images, write a brief paragraph explaining what each image represents and why you think it is a good representation of the United States at that time.

If possible, post your images with the explanatory paragraph to a class or school Web site.



Tips for an Effective Internet Search
Be aware that Search engines present pages in descending order of relevancy; the most useful pages will be at the top of the list.
To help determine whether the Web page is a reputable source, note the URL endings. Sites ending in .edu are maintained by educational institutions, sites ending in .gov are maintained by government agencies, sites ending in .org are maintained by nonprofit organizations, and sites ending in .com are commercially or personally maintained.
Be sure to respect copyrighted material.
