After the September 11 attacks, some quilters began making quilts to
commemorate the event and to honor those who died. Students were
asked to make their own "Squares of Hope" for these quilts to help
them cope with the tragedy.
Step One
Design your own "Square of Hope" quilt square to memorialize the
victims of a terrorist attack. You may choose 9/11 or another
international attack. You may draw the quilt square by hand, or use
digital images. The quilt square should contain at least one image
related to the attack.
Step TWO
Write a paragraph describing what the symbols and image(s) you
chose for your square mean to you.
The paragraph should contain the following elements:
• at least five sentences describing the quilt square
• a description or explanation for each image or symbol used
• an explanation of the significance of each image or symbol
