Today we will be exploring your knowledge about the War of 1812 and examining the significance of the Star Spangled Banner.
To do so, you will complete the following tasks while you work.
Gathering Knowledge
- First, go to the War of 1812 site presented by the National Museum of American History.
- Next, read the introduction then click on
to get started. - Then read the information and explore the page. Be sure that you notice the images on the left and click on them to see what other information they can provide. Before you move on to the "next" page, answer the "Collect Stars" question. Note-as you work through these you may need to explore the entire page to find the answer.
- Try to make your way through the entire site.
Using Knowledge
- As you consider the importance of the Star Spangled Banner (the flag itself and the National Anthem) identify significant, facts, details, images as you gather your knowledge above. When you find something that is meaningful to your understanding of the events surrounding the War of 1812 or the flag itself, use this google document and copy and paste that detail or image next to (or underneath) the line of the Star Spangled Banner that is most closely associated with your chosen detail or image. Note-there will be several people editing this document at once. Be careful, do not delete anyone else's work. More than one person may add something to any line of the song. Continue this process as you work through the website. You should add at least 4 things by the time you are done with the "gathering knowledge" phase above.
