Steps
- First, students group existing flags into 3 - 5 categories of their choosing.
- Then, they research the symbolism of a few of those flags.
- Next, they design their own flag, based on one of the categories from step one.
- They can develop a variant flag that is used for a specific purpose within their civilization.
