We are doing a research project on national symbols and landmarks. Does anyone have an easy form for students to record information?

[1956BD]

they told them in first person as if they are the national symbol or landmark? They could tell
when they were born or age
how they came about
their location
significance
describe their appearance and condition
how Americans enjoy them throughout the year
then finally their name, so it reads almost like a riddle

Everyone listening would be trying to figure out which national landmark was being described before it was named.

Then they could show a picture or maybe even a short power point of 10 pictures or less.

Possibilities

flag
bald eagle
Statue of Liberty
Uncle Sam
Lincoln Memorial
Jefferson Memorial
Liberty Bell
White House
National Capitol Building
The Pentagon
St. Louis Archway
Eternal Flame at Kennedy's Gravesite at Arlington Cemetery
Mount Rushmore
The Great Lakes
Grand Canyon
The Redwood Forest
Yellowstone National Park
Golden Gate Bridge
Mount Vernon
Monticello
Pike's Peak
Ford Theater
America The Beautiful
The Star Spangled Banner

This got me thinking- creating first person riddles about state landmarks! Thank you!
