America The Beautiful Musical Lesson Plan, Activities, Worksheets & Slide Show

$6.25

“America, the Beautiful” is known and loved by many. Katharine Lee Bates was inspired to write the poem as she traveled from Boston through the Hoosac Tunnel to the Niagara Falls, the Chicago’s World Fair across the plains of Kansas and then stood on top of Pike’s Peak. Samuel Ward’s music was a perfect fit to this poem. Learn more about the poem and the impact Katharine and her poetry has had on America.

This is the perfect lesson and activity for elementary school children and teachers. The entire song (all four verses) is approximately 6 minutes long and the lesson could take about 30-45 minutes. Depending on the activity or activities you choose they could take an additional 15 minutes to several days to complete.

This is a great addition to a unit on the United States of America, patriotic music, poetry and patriotism.
