Toxic Lies--The Betrayal of Heroes

Have you ever been betrayed by someone you trusted? a best friend, teammate, colleague, fellow worker, even relative? How did you feel? What do you do about it? In some cases, how can you pick up the pieces of your life and go on? This is a topic that touches us all, at one time or other, in so many ways.

So what? On a more global scale, watch the following video and think how you might ask your students to respond. Challenge: weave these components into a powerful lesson.

It is a short video about the environmental catastrophe created by the aftermath of the collapse of the Twin Towers and Building 7. And about those who are now suffering tremendously as a result of Toxic Lies told to them about the air quality at Ground Zero.
