For our final project, my group has selected a lesson plan about American symbols. Some of the symbols include the American flag, the statue of Lady Justice, the Statue of Liberty, and the national anthem. Here is the full lesson:

I think that this lesson is a great choice because the students gain identity as Americans. Specifically, at the end of the lesson the students are instructed to create a newscast interview about the definitions and importance of an American symbol in the lesson. The students first join groups of two and research the symbol of their choice. After finding information they are asked to formulate questions to ask the other group member in the mock newscast. The second part of this lesson involves the students making a graphic to display during the newscast interview.
