Remembering 9/11 Through Writing and Reflection
Mrs. Williamson’s Advanced Composition students recently reflected on the events of September 11, 2001, through a research-based creative writing activity. Students explored the history and experiences surrounding 9/11 before writing a first-person diary entry imagining what it may have been like to have witnessed that historic, tragic day. Through the activity, students strengthened their research and creative writing skills while also considering the events of 9/11 from the perspectives of those who experienced them.

Over the past few weeks, LHS English classes have visited the library for an interactive library orientation. Students learned about the resources and services available to them, explored the library’s collection, and discovered how to use the online catalog and other research tools.
Students then put their knowledge to the test with a library scavenger hunt that challenged them to navigate the library, locate books and resources, and become more comfortable using the space independently. Through these orientations, students are gaining the skills they need to make the library a valuable resource throughout their time at LHS.
#VikingsReadVikingsLead
