=Additional Ideas & Resources= I created a comic life file that would be helpful to introduce symbols to a class. This is a basic overview, but gives a child an introduction to symbolism or a "refresher course" on it. Using it as a handout could be a resource for the students.

Suggestion for 4th Grade
Since 4th Graders study Indiana in Social Studies in Indiana, I suggest the following Power Point Presentation on the Symbolism of the South Carolina State Flag. Suggested activities: Students (in pairs or in groups) research another symbol of Indiana and prepare a couple of slides to add to the Power Point. This will provide a "Class" report on Indiana. When the slide show is presented the teacher starts with the flag portion and then each group presents their own slides. A true group effort. This would be a good activity for a Parent Night or a Curriculum Showcase.

Students pick another state's flag and try to guess at the symbolism of the flag and then research the meaning to see if they were correct. [|Look here]
