Monuments

Students will view six examples of monuments from a variety of cultures throughout history. They will choose one example and write a short interpretation of it. They will then create a drawing of their own idea for a monument, designed to reflect a style and culture of their choice. Afterward, they will write a short reflection describing the culture and the intent of their design.

This item has been voluntarily field-tested by Michigan teachers with a non-representative sample of students.
