We are continuing with our Reading Unit on American Symbols. One of the symbols that we discussed was the Statue of Liberty. We read an informational text on the Statue of Liberty, watched a video clip, made a KWLI chart (What we know, what we want to know, what we have learned, and illustrations) on the Statue and even made our own crowns. The students had a blast making their crowns and wearing them around the school and pretending that they were the Statue of Liberty.
Here is our KWLI chart that we made
Topic:The Statue of Liberty
K: What we know
- we know that the statue is green
