We read

Today, at school we saw a video in memory of 9/11. To me, it was really sad seeing the video. In the video, people talked about how they reacted when it happened. I guess those were some of the people that survived 9/11. A lady in the video said that when she heard the noise. She thought that it was an earthquake. So she got under the table. But someone was telling everyone to go so she got up and tried to get out of the building. In the video, it showed a man that was taking pictures as people ran for their lives, and the two buildings that were on fire. Many people died. Firefighters died helping people. Nobody would've ever thought this would happen because it was an ordinary day like any other.

We also read an article is class about 9/11. It talked about a memorial they did where 9/11 happened. The way that the articles explain that the Memorial looks like sounds nice and interesting. Because it says that:

 "Names are engraved — cut all the way through, actually, and backlit at night — on bronze panels along the parapets that form the perimeter of both voids. In all there are 2,983, including everyone (other than the terrorists) who died at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and in the crash of United Airlines Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pa.,” So the people's names that died that day, their names are engraved on the memorial. At school, they made us write a poem based on an article about the memorial of 9/11. 
This is my poem:

  "After the soaring" memorial to the people who died on 9/11.

Ten years later, the newly completed memorial,

Two massive square voids sited within the footprints of the towers, it digs down — almost as if the collapse of the towers had pounded out a space to deposit feelings about that whole wretched day. On all four sides of each void, waterfalls descend into a broad reflecting pool, irresistibly drawing your eyes, and your thoughts, ever downward

But all the while that those deep, dark voids express a sense of loss and grief — and reach into your feelings about the grave — the falling water exerts its ancient power to console. 

 Names are engraved — cut all the way through, actually, and backlit at night — on bronze panels along the parapets that form the perimeter of both voids. In all there are 2,983, including everyone (other than the terrorists) who died at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and in the crash of United Airlines Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pa.,"
