This resource features all of the materials you need to conduct a Stations Activity to teach students about Veterans Day. The lesson involves movement, energy, creative thinking and most of all, collaboration. All tasks are Language Arts skills-based so that with this engaging lesson, learning is not sacrificed; in fact, students will come away with it with a greater understanding about the importance of Veterans Day.
How does it work?
Your students will work to complete 4 Language Arts-based tasks about Veterans Day in order to learn more about this important holiday and about the veterans of our proud country.
Veterans Day Fun Facts: In the first task, students will read 8 facts about Veterans Day and must identify the parts of speech of underlined words within the passages.
O Say, Can You See: In the second task, students read "The Star-Spangled Banner" and match poetic devices within the song to their definitions.
Veteran-Spiration: In the third task, students read 8 quotes about veterans and patriotism and must identify the incorrectly spelled word in each sentence.
Jig Saw Quote: In the fourth task, students must assemble a jig saw puzzle that, once completed, will reveal a quote about veterans. Once students bring this to you, they have completed the activity!
