• Read the following passage aloud, paying attention to the intonation. “The planes were hijacked, the buildings fell, and thousands of lives were lost nearly a thousand miles from here. But the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were an attack on the heart of America. • And standing here in the heartland of America, we say in one voice: we will not give in to terrorists; we will not rest until they are found and defeated; we will win this struggle; not for glory, nor wealth, nor power, but for justice, for freedom, and for peace; so help us God.” • • --- Senator Tom Harkin
