Worksheet Description

This worksheet is designed to engage students in learning about and recreating the Juneteenth flag, which is a symbol of freedom and the end of slavery in the United States. The worksheet provides a brief history of the flag’s creation by activist Ben Haith in 1997 and mentions the adoption of its current design in the year 2000. It encourages students to draw and color the flag, thus providing a hands-on educational activity that combines art with learning historical facts.

The main feature of the worksheet is a large rectangular box where students can illustrate the flag. This activity can help students to remember the symbolism and colors of the Juneteenth flag by involving them in the creative process. It can also open up a dialogue about the significance of each element of the flag and what it represents in the context of Juneteenth. The act of drawing and coloring can deepen students’ connection to the holiday and offer a tangible way to reflect on its importance. This worksheet is a valuable tool for teachers to use in lessons about Juneteenth, American history, and the ongoing journey towards equality and justice.
