September Standard
•	CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RH.6-8.7

“Integrate visual information (e.g., in charts, graphs, photographs, videos, or maps) with other information in print and digital texts.” To help teachers add other forms of media into their lessons about 9/11, direct them toward:

	A geopolitical map of Afghanistan

	Photos of important post-9/11 events

Do you subscribe to Lands and Peoples? If so, you can use the Lands and Peoples Culture Cross feature to compare Afghanistan to the United States for an insightful lesson about different cultures and the continued tension between these two countries. This feature is ideal for students who need to compare and contrast any countries and cultures in research papers. Try it for yourself.

If you do not have Lands and Peoples, upgrade your subscription by calling 1-800-387-1437.
