July 4th 2007

The 4th of July - Independence Day - America's Birthday - Fireworks


Watching the fireworks last evening, made me consider what it means to be Patriotic? This is my list - I leave you with the challenge of a paragraph to describe these (or to disagree with having them in the list) and add resources or lesson ideas for teachers to use. Feel free to add to the list also.
