Keep checking different issues of the newspaper until you have a complete collection. Be sure to share your findings with a classmate or teacher or other adult. Search the newspaper to find and read articles of local interest. Draw your interpretation of your three items in the form of a state flag, seal or banner. Because pictures are sometimes more easily recognizable than words, you encounter pictorial or graphic symbols every day-on signs, on television and in the newspaper, for example.
Symbols have many uses.
See how many of these and other symbols you can find in your newspaper, and list their uses. Some foods have even become national symbols, such as apple pie in America. Search the food section in one or more recent newspapers to see if you can find other foods that are strongly associated with either America or with other countries. Clip out your findings and use them to make a collage. Be sure to share your findings with others.
