September 6, 2011 Dear Parents/Guardians of ______________________________________: In an attempt to foster a better understanding of the power and responsibility of journalism, I will be showing the documentary 9/11 next week. I feel that it is important that students experience good examples of the journalistic experience in this multimedia form so that they may gain a greater appreciation for it. However, since the documentary is not rated, I need your permission to allow your son/daughter to participate. There is some mild language, but no sexual content. Here is a brief synopsis of the documentary as taken from the back cover of the DVD:
On the morning of September 11, 2001, brothers Jules and Gedeon Naudet were working on a documentary about a rookie New York City firefighter. Hearing a roar in the sky, Jules turned his camera upward--just in time to film the only existing image of the first plane crashing into the World Trade Center. In a fateful instant, Jules and Gedeon became eyewitnesses to the most shocking and defining incident of our time. With cameras rolling, the Naudets followed NYC firefighters into the heart of what would be known as Ground Zero. What emerged is an unforgettably powerful visual document and a stirring tribute to real-life heroes who, in their city's darkest hour, rose to extraordinary acts of courage and compassion.

An in-class assignment will be given during the viewing, and no student will be penalized if permission is not granted, instead, an alternate assignment may be given. Please check the appropriate box, sign, and return to school. Thank you in advance and please contact me if there are any questions at 630-6760 x143. May your child view the film? YES NO ___________________________________________________ Please sign here Sincerely,
