Patriotic Wall

We've had a patriotic and character development focus at my school this year. For the past few months we've been trying to put together a patriotic timeline display. My idea was to create a timeline of important people and events from our country's history. There are several schools around that have similar patriotic displays but I wanted our students to have more ownership of the wall. The frame was crafted by a previous student for his eagle project. We paid for everything else with the profits from our cookie dough fundraiser. Each class was given a picture for a week and was assigned the task of researching the picture and writing a caption.

The title of the display is. At the end is a huge mirror with the words, "What will YOUR legacy be?" Across from the mirror is a big American flag. When you stop and look in the mirror the flag becomes the backdrop to the reflection.


We finished the wall this afternoon. What do you think?
