Students study pennants designed for previous inaugurations and design souvenir pennants for the 2009 inauguration.
Students define the words pennant and souvenir. Students design souvenir pennants for the presidential inauguration.
inauguration, pennant, souvenir, president
Before the lesson: Make triangular pennant patterns, one for each student. Make the patterns 9 inches by 12 inches by 12 inches. Cut 1- by 12-inch strips of cardboard or stiff tag board, one for each student. Save pictures of the new president from print or online sources.
Variation for older students: Let students make the pennant patterns.
Turn the pennant over to the blank side.
Put a small amount of glue or paste along the edge of the short side of the pennant.
Carefully press the "stick" onto the glue. Wipe away any extra glue.
Let the pennant dry thoroughly before holding it or putting it on display.
Variation: Use thin wooden dowel sticks instead of cardboard or tag board strips. Have students explain their pennant designs.
Evaluate students' participation and pennant designs.
