The flag is one of our nation's most important symbols
and is the central character of our national anthem. This project* introduces students to the key historical events
that led to the creation of this important song, helping them to learn the lyrics to The Star Spangled Banner and
expand their overall understanding of our nation's history.
To complete the
project students will . . .
• learn about key historical events that led to the creation of our national anthem through a multimedia presentation.
• learn about different types of primary sources and reflect on their value.
• learn the lyrics to The Star Spangled Banner with the assistance of a primary-source, multimedia presentation.
• reinforce their understanding of the flag and the song's lyrics by coloring illustrations of U.S. flags and the song lyrics.
