We chose to discuss flags from different countries because we feel children are often taught very little about the history or meaning of different flags. Realistically it is difficult to display each country's flag all at one time. We decided together to target eight particular flags as the center of our display. We are intending to address students of all cultures. This is important for students who may be new arrivals in our country and students who know little about their cultural background.
Flags are an important part of everyone's history.
Flags stand for the freedoms, battles, and trials of the ancestors of us all. It is important to recognize the flags of the world and everything they stand for. Flags are important cornerstones of every country and can tell many facts and stories about a countries development over time. In our display we have chosen to develop the students' knowledge of flags by allowing them to read and look over several different books dealing with the specific countries we have chosen. The students have the opportunity to create their own version of the eight displayed flags using a variety of materials.
