Veterans in military caps carry U.S. and service flags during a ceremony.

This lesson plan (LP) guides students to develop their visual literacy, creativity, and critical thinking skills by studying the U.S. holiday of Veterans Day. Students will gain an understanding of how symbols can convey meaning and practice interpreting the symbols many Americans use to honor veterans on this holiday. They will then design a poster that honors someone they value, using symbols they choose.
