Star Spangled Banner

On the first day of class I ask my class to open their journal and write The Star Spangled Banner. I then give them a copy of the correct words and talk about the flag and Francis Scott Key. It is really interesting to hear the verses the students write. They are usually laughing when they compare what they wrote to what the words really should be.
