Pledge of Allegiance Image Sequencing
Overview
Most school children in the United States recite the Pledge of Allegiance every morning. But what does the pledge really mean? By analyzing primary source images and pairing them with the text, students deepen their understanding of a citizen’s commitment to country. After, students create and decorate their own pledge to family, heritage, culture, class, or school.
