Your teams will learn about one of the branches of the United States Armed Forces.

 

 

Your task is to learn the focus of one branch and explain its symbol based on that focus:

 

Who

What

When

Where

Why 

How

 

Take notes in phrases -- write down the main ideas in phrases.

Use your phrases to create a poem or paragraph connecting the symbol to the focus.

 


 

 

About the Red Hat

It is a Phrygian cap or Liberty cap. In ancient Rome, it was given to a slave upon manumission as a sign of his freedom. In the Revolutionary era, the red Phrygian cap evolved into a symbol of freedom, in America, France, and elsewhere. The picture of Liberty on early silver dollars shows her wearing a Phrygian cap and today it is seen on the seal of the US Army (see picture). Also, those fans of cartoons will recognize it as the headgear worn by Smurfs.  (From: http://www.ushistory.org/betsy/faq.htm )
