I bet you are so interested in
US symbols that you want to know more. Well, I have a great place
to look. This online encyclopedia will be a great guide. |
| Mission Activity We have learned about many symbols of the United States. We discussed what the American flag stands for and what symbols are on the flag. Your task is to pretend that you are a flag maker hired to make a flag that acts as a symbol for you. Your flag can have no more than three symbols. The symbols will show things you are either interested in or traits you possess. What will your flag look like? What colors will it be? What symbols will be on the flag? |
| Mission Activity
Steps 1. In our
lesson, we
discussed the different symbols of the United States. Now it is

Draw a picture of what you would like your flag to look like. 5. Explain to me why you used the symbols on the flag. 6. Make the picture nice looking because it will be placed on the Internet for your friends and family to view. |
