I teach middle school and I had several different spins on this lesson. I had a group of students that were really into Penley Hearts. This group tackled the visuals that might represent America.

I just had a blast learning and teaching my students about this artist. I think I might even have to blog one more time on it! 3rd time is the charm ;)

I am proud to be an American and I am super happy that we have artist like Steve Penley to document  American History!
