Students go to the computer lab to engage in this thoughtful lesson on our national symbols. Students access the internet, and solve an on-line puzzle of a national symbol of freedom. The symbols are the Eagle, The Statue of Liberty, The Capitol Dome, The Great Seal, and the U.S. Flag. Both a pre and post-test on the symbols are embedded in the plan.
