For this project, we used scratch art to make our own personal flags. We began class by discussing different symbols on flags, and how different symbols have different meanings. When it was time to design our own flags, we were asked to use 4 different symbols to represent ourselves. We then colored over the flag with the color of our choice, and painted over it with scratch off paint. Once it was dry, we were then able to scratch our own designs that we practiced onto our actual flags.
For an extension activity, I could also incorporate this into a Native American history lesson. We could discuss the different symbols that they used in their daily lives and beliefs, and then students could create their own short story based on the Native American symbols that they scratched onto their flags.
