Statue of Liberty


Description

The read aloud “A Picnic in October” introduces students to the Statue of Liberty as a landmark that symbolizes new beginnings and freedom. The next resource, “the Statue of Liberty” video, gives the students a real-life perspective of the Statue of Liberty as immigrants in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s would have seen it as they traveled up the Hudson River. Next, students hear why people began immigrating to America in the book “Coming to America: The Story of Immigration.” Students are building their vocabulary and understanding about what the Statue of Liberty symbolizes to new immigrants with the poem in the “Immigration-Statue of Liberty” article. The interactive map then allows students to explore the Statue of Liberty and view the distance it traveled to America from France. Both infographics provide statistics and information about the Statue of Liberty, further justifying why it is considered a landmark. Students receive more in-depth background into how the Statue of Liberty is built with the book” You Wouldn’t Want to be a Worker on the Statue of Liberty.” Finally, the interactive timeline provides students with a virtual tour of Ellis Island.
