Flag research.

Objective: To help the children learn how to find out information they need.

Activity: Find out the story of our early flags, flag changes, and how we got our present flag. Have books available in the classroom and have the school librarian assist by having a table of books and resources for the students in the library. Find out what the colors stand for. Show the film again.

Assessment: The method by which the students go about their task. (This is a good time to talk to individual children about how to do independent research.)
