The design has many flags. Three new buildings and two large walls of glass. The design is creative, nice, beautiful, and colorful.

We like the design because in the center there are two large walls of glass that a broken on top. this reminds us of the Twin Towers that are now gone. There are colorful flags around the buildings. Also, three new buildings surround the walls of glass. A large flag of America is placed between the walls. Flowers surround the two large walls of glass.

Grade 3

The students' insight relating the broken walls of glass to the broken Twin Towers is excellent. The remainder of the students' explanation seemed more like a description of the design and not enough of an evaluation of it. The students should have explained the symbolism of the colorful flags and flowers that surround the walls of glass or explained what it is about these elements that they leads them to choose this design.

The design has a crystal globe that rotates on the top of the tower meaning the regions all around the world have universal hope and will stand strong. The towers are 120 stories high to show the United States will stand tall and strong. Each of the four towers are joined by a common bridge at the top. There are global elevators that would plan the outer walls between the two buildings. the elevator will lead to a revolving restaurant.

We like the design because it means something. These buildings represent America. We are strong, brave and tall. We will stand united. The crystal globe stands for people all around the world who will be united against terrorism.

This World Trade Center design is a four sided hollow building that is in a pond that is surrounded by weeping willlows. The top part has a fountain that looks like crying eyes. The tear drop has different colors. It is the memorial of the people who cried as a result of the Sseptember 11 events.

I like the design because the weeping willows look like real tears. I like the idea that the different colors in the tear drop stand for the different people who live in America. I also like the crystal base in the reflection of the pond. This represents that our freedom is as fragile as crystal.

This design incorporates the look of the original Twin Towers but adds to it. The third building looks like it is built around the Twin Towers as if it were tying to defend them. The area where the Twin Towers once stood is filled with water so nobody can walk on the sacred ground. Around the space where the towers stood are two walk ways at the two different elevations that the planes crashed.

We like this design because it really looks futuristic. We like the fact the outer building prevents the towers from being torn down. We especially like the idea that the footprint area would be filled with water to keep the area as a remembrance of the original towers and of all the people who lost their lives there.

Teacher Evaluation: Nathan and Ann Marie

Grade 4

The students clearly describe the design so that we can envision the design. The students relate the design elements to the events of 9/11 and describe how the design memorializes the heroes and victims of 9/11. The students highlight the design structure that will serve as protection for the inner structure which represents the original twin towers.

Each footprint of World Trade Center tower one and tower two would be raised hollow ground. It would be covered with grass. There would be a granite prayer wall on it. There would be two open stairway towers that have 2,823 steps representing each of the people who lost their lives. There would be an arched twenty story mirrored cultural building that would reflect the step towers and green tower footprints.

We like this design because the prayer wall would allow family members of those who died to have a place to remember and pray for the people they lost. We like that the step tower will be mirrored by the cultural building. It will look like there are two step towers.

Grade 3

The students clearly described the design and related how the prayer wall in the design will memorialize the victims and heroes of 9/11. More reference to the steps serving to represent those who lost their lives might have been mentioned.
