In this lesson, students choose an idea and design a flag to represent it.
Students use the planning page or graphic organizer to focus their ideas.
Discuss and chart various kinds of flags and keep an ongoing list in the classroom. Have the students use various art materials to create their flag. They can write essays to go with their flag, expanding on the reasons why they chose items to include for their flag's design. Some students may also create an anthem and put it to music. The music specialist would be a good resource for this activity.
