On July 4, 1960, the American flag will change for the 26th time. These changes provide a useful time-line that makes geography and history more fascinating and meaningful. No other country changes its flag as it expands. Visualizing 50 States by E. Milton Grassell Every country has a national flag for its chief symbol. But the United States is the only nation in the world that expands the flag as the country enlarges. On July 4, 1960, the American flag will change for the 26th time. Have you used the flag as a time-line to help students understand geography and history? Mr. Leonard M. Hunting, an educator with 20 years' experience as a classroom teacher and administrator, has! Interested in how he does it? The accompanying pictures pinpoint Mr Hunting's method. They show how he calls attention to the flag's stars and stripes to accent important American and recent world history and to illustrate geographical concepts. In addition to the more traditional referencf material, Mr. Hunting makes ample use of maps and globes and other aids. Flip charts, for instance, are one of the many efficient aids that students and/or teachers can make quickly and easily. The base material for the flip charts is 20-pound butcher paper. The graphic illustrations were enlarged and transferred to the flip charts with an opaque projector. 280 Educational Screen and Audiovisual Guide — June, I960
