This class is part of a group of patriotic classes exploring American Symbols. Students will discover the history of the National Archives, symbolic components, and historic documents housed within. We will discuss the Charters of Freedom - The Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, and the US Constitution, as well as the primary framers of these documents. Information will be taught through a PowerPoint slide presentation. I will use questioning techniques and discussion as students interact with each other and me. Following the PowerPoint, students will create a step-by-step drawing of the National Archives building. I will invite learners to write or tell a fact/facts they learned. This class will be informative, engaging, and supportive in a non-partisan environment.

My excitement about American symbols began with my travels to Washington, DC. I loved stepping onto the exact spot where Martin Luther King Jr. stood for his iconic I Have a Dream speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. Walking through the White House thrilled me as I imagined the historic individuals who had walked its halls. I have enthusiastically taught many learners about Washington, DC through books, music, and plays. I'm so excited to share my knowledge and experience with Outschool students!
