American Symbols
2nd Grade Research

The President Calls For All Citizens to
Show Their Patriotism!

However, there are some Ben Franklin families who are new to our country. They do not recognize our national symbols and have no idea of their meanings. Your task will be to do research on the following symbols.

            • American Flag
            • Statue of Liberty
            • Liberty Bell
            • Mt. Rushmore
            • Bald Eagle
            • White House

You will then design and create a poster about the symbol you think our newest friends need to know about. All the posters will be on display. You will need to include information explaining the importance of your symbol.
