Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Practice visual scanning by locating repeated instances of a phrase scattered across a page

  • Practice counting and recording a total

  • Learn the basic meaning of Memorial Day as a day of remembrance for fallen U.S. military personnel

Teaching tips

  • Use page 3's short informational note as a discussion starter before assigning the counting pages, since it's the only page that explains what Memorial Day is

  • Time each page separately if using it as a warm-up activity, since each of the five pages is a self-contained counting task

Skills covered

  • Visual scanning and counting -- each page asks students to find every instance of a repeated phrase (in different sizes and orientations) and write the total count.

  • Background knowledge of Memorial Day -- page 3 explains that Memorial Day 'is a federal holiday in the United States for honoring and mourning the U.S. military personnel who have died while serving in the United States Armed Forces.'

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

Does every page use the same phrase to count, or does it change?

It changes page to page -- each of the five pages scatters a different Memorial Day phrase to count, such as 'MEMORIAL DAY' on page 1 and 'NEVER FORGET' on page 4, rather than repeating the same phrase throughout.
