The Man Who Walked Between the Two Towers - 9/11 Interactive Powerpoint

Created by

A great interactive powerpoint to use for the week of 9/11! Using the book, "The Man That Walks Between the Two Towers" written by Mordicai Gerstai, the slides ask questions from the book and based off of the videos. The story is a different twist to exposing a younger audience to the events of 9/11. The videos are to give students a visual for 9/11 events and so that you can explain 9/11 and it's historical, tragic, events.The link on the first slides goes to a read aloud video. Enjoy!
