6-8: Impact of 9/11
How have the 9/11 attacks impacted the way you see the world? What does
it mean to you that Osama bin Laden has been killed?
9-12: Results of
bin Laden's death
How do you think the death of Osama bin Laden has affected United States
citizens? Consider how this has affected public safety, the war in
Afghanistan or the economy. How does it personally make you feel to see
the world celebrating a man's death?

Your first duty is to introduce yourself to the school as the new
classroom prince/princess. Write one paragraph introducing yourself and
explaining why you will be a great representative for your classroom.

Being a royal is a big responsibility. You are constantly in the public eye,
