This book is part of an important new series designed to bring America's historic monuments to life for your students. Topics were chosen not only for their historical importance, but also to honor the people of many cultures who have built our nation. Included in this series are the contributions made by Mexican Americans, Native Americans, African Americans and Americans of European descent. For more than 100 years, the Statue of Liberty has stood in New York Harbor to welcome and inspire generations of immigrants and U.S. citizens alike. A gift of friendship from the people of France to the people of the United States in 1886, it has become one of the most widely recognized symbols of political freedom and democracy in the world. Students will learn about its history, construction and its relevance to the U.S., melting-pot past through original documents, time lines and activities. Materials that relate past history to present day and reinforce key terms and concepts, produce context and develop understanding and appreciation. Multiple intelligence activities, internet research ideas and an answer key complete this vital resource.
