Items related to Historic Monuments : Washington Monument
This book is part of an important new series designed to bring America1s national monuments to life for your students. Topics were chosen not only for their historical importance, but also to honor the people of many cultures who have built our nation. Included in this series are the contributions made by Mexican Americans, Native Americans, African Americans and Americans of European descent.
Children will explore the various stages in the life of the first "father" of our nation-- from Washington as a young boy to Washington the general in the American Revolution to Washington the first President of the United States.
Original documents, time lines and letters present facts about the French and Indian War and the American Revolution. Students will also learn about the building of the Washington Monument and its unique architecture, as well as other tributes to the first President at Mount Vernon and Mount Rushmore.
As the fascinating story of George Washington unfolds, students will discover for themselves the excitement of history, the mystery of finding clues to the past and the awe of seeing legends in the making.
A host of fun and challenging activities--from writing to fill-ins--reinforces key terms, provides context and explores contemporary relevance. Multiple intelligence activities, internet research ideas, a glossary and an answer key complete this valuable resource.
