Michigan Teachers needs D.C. help (mall, horses, commuters)

[lavendersunrise]

Hello All!

I'm bringing a group (100+) students/staff members to D.C. next week! Our staff members decided that we were going to try and get the kids more interested in the history of America.

So...we are doing a photo scavenger hunt while we are at the National Mall (and touring other memorials). However it's been a while since I have been to D.C. I thought it would be easy to find one already done online - boy was I wrong!

1. A bronze dog.
2. Under Michigan.
3. Touching Mars.
4. A mistake in the Gettysburg Address
5. Two different ethnicities of soldiers; one without a weapon


Here are a few things that we already have. I'd love to get a list of about 15 more. As long as it is within walking distance of the Lincoln Memorial or one of the other MAJOR memorials please add a "picutre hunt."

(You don't have to tell me which memorial it's from since I'll be playing along too in DC!)

Thanks in advance!

Ok I'll bite:

1) A statute a former first lady on the National Mall. A first, that's kind of like a new deal.
2) A Japanese pagoda made out of stone. Hint, it's exactly in between clue #3 and the Lincoln Memorial.
3) In an episode of The Simpsons, Lisa Simpson visits this memorial and the statute laments "No one ever comes to see me. I don't blame them. I never did anything important. Just the Declaration of Independence, the Louisiana Purchase, the dumbwaiter...Wait! Please don't go. I get so lonely..."

Have fun and remind your students to stand to the right on an escalator, especially during rush hour!

Welcome to D.C.! Hope you all have a great time! I'm a teacher here, so I'm extra glad you are making the trip.

How about these?

1) more than 52,000 names
2) pillars for "The Great War"
3) the only sandstone building on the mall
4) a place for horses and mallets
5) propelled by pedals, but floating, not rolling
6) museum of hitler's wrath
7) "3 for $10"
8) carries thousands of commuters a day over the Potomac
9) a bust of Einstein
10) someone without a comfy bed to sleep in (we have a lot of them; tourists often overlook them)

Peace.
