  2. Lesson Description • This lesson is in a unit about symbols and traditions used to honor America. The lesson focuses on patriotic songs and ends in the students learning/singing one as well as being able to name a few. • We will start with a discussion on patriotic songs and name as many as they can think of before watching an introduction video of song mash-ups. Then, using a YouTube video, we will practice singing 'God Bless America', adding kinesthetic movements wherever possible (adding hand/body motions to phrases in the song to help remember) • Standard: History and Social Studies 1.3 Students know and understand the symbols, icons, and traditions of the United States that provide continuity and a sense of community across time. • Lesson Learning Objectives: At the end of this lesson, students will be able to name songs that honor this country and sing at least the first stanza of God Bless America.
