Homework Project--Family Flag

(all students will receive a paper copy of this assignment)

After learning about the parts of the flag, a history of flags, and seeing lots of flags in class, we will be designing a family flag! Students have received a large sheet of heavy white paper for their flag. Flags should be in color; please make sure they use crayons or colored pencils (but NOT markers); I have extra sets of each (crayons and colored pencils) if you need them to complete the project.

Ideas for the flag include:
 Family’s historical coat of arms
 Symbols representing each family member
 Symbols representing what the family likes to do together
 Favorite family foods, books, etc.
 Colors representing your family (i.e., if your family is Scottish like mine, you could use red)
 Symbols representing your family beliefs
 A banner with a family slogan

Flags are due on Tuesday, September 16th. We will be putting our flags on display in the classroom. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Amy Croel-Perrien
