I'm a year 6 (11 year olds) teacher in the UK doing a modern history topic on the events of 9/11.
I would like the children to see some form of visual documentary of that day but I've heard this documentary has a lot of graphic language in it; is that true?
If it is does anyone know of a doc suitable for children of that age.
Thanks.

As a secondary teacher, it isn't the language that would make me question the suitability. It is the pretty blunt explanation of people jumping/the sound of bodies hitting. Not all kids can handle the emotional weight of understanding those aren't sound effects or part of a scripted plot.
shareI agree with other posts that any language that you might encounter is actually relevant to that moment. It's not blatant or anything.
The memory of that day and it's subsequent message should never be forgotten and should be shown to EVERYONE. Sadly, much of the memory that brought America together afterward is now lost.
