In this module, students will listen to, read, and view a variety of texts and media that present them with information about the important U.S. documents and symbols.

A genre focus on nonfiction provides students with opportunities to identify central ideas, text structure, and media techniques in order to better understand unfamiliar texts.

As students build vocabulary and synthesize knowledge, they will learn more about our country’s history and how various symbols came to represent the values and ideals of the United States.
