American Symbol & Monument Project

We recently completed our American Symbols Unit.  As a culminating activity, students worked in a group of 3 to create an I-Movie trailer to convince you to visit one of the famous American Monuments in our country. This was also a great culmination of opinion/persuasive writing as the I-Movie is supposed to persuade you to visit that particular place. 

Click the name of the place to see the video that the students created: 


The Lincoln Memorial

The White House

The Washington Monument

Mount Rushmore

The Statue of Liberty

The Liberty Bell

Hopefully, the students will remember their learning and will think of First Grade when they visit one of these places one day.
