BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
v Going back in history, families often had pennants, crests, and flags, which told
something of their history and background. These items told others what the family
stood for in terms of values and personal characteristics (loyalty, trustworthiness,
kindness, etc.).
v When knights rode into battle, their shields often were painted with family symbols.
This helped with identification, related to family and friends, while representing their
families in battle.
v Certain colors stood for certain things. Red might represent blood or courage; blue
might represent water or loyalty; yellow might represent the sun or cowardice.
The students will design a personal pennant that will tell something positive about them.
The symbols used will be up to each student (within reason). Instruct the students to
select symbols that will highlight things about themselves.
