01

What Students Need to Do

Students explain the September 11 attacks, give examples of heroism, and describe the creation of the Department of Homeland Security and the PATRIOT Act. They describe the consequences of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars and judge how flooding and FEMA's response affected people during Hurricane Katrina. They trace the housing crash through the global financial crisis and explain the Federal Reserve's response.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

Students cite firefighter rescues and explain how Homeland Security and the PATRIOT Act changed security. They name deaths and displacement in both wars, then connect breached levees and delayed FEMA aid to Katrina's toll. They trace risky mortgages to bank losses worldwide and explain the Fed's rate cuts and emergency lending.

03

Common Misconceptions

Some students think Iraq carried out 9/11 or that the PATRIOT Act created Homeland Security. Others treat Katrina as only a weather disaster, missing levee failures and delayed FEMA aid. Many mistake the recession for only a stock market crash, missing risky mortgages and losses at banks worldwide.

04

How to Assess It

Give a four-box exit ticket: name a 9/11 rescue and security measure; name one consequence of each war; explain one FEMA failure; link mortgage defaults, global banks, and a Fed action.

1. 01

   Give pairs dated event cards and yarn to connect the attacks to security measures, Katrina flooding to relief, and mortgage defaults to Fed action.

2. 02

   Read two short summaries of the PATRIOT Act, then write which security power needs the strongest safeguard and why.

3. 03

   Run a timeline relay with cards for the Afghanistan invasion, Iraq invasion, Hurricane Katrina, housing crash, and Fed emergency lending.

4. 04

   Compare a local flood evacuation map with a New Orleans flood map, then list two barriers residents might face when leaving.
