Growing up I have always found Arlington to be a wonderful place full of great history, without traveling there, this is the closest I have gotten to teaching my students about it. This was a great ELA activity to introduce Memorial Day. VERY high interest to my students!

Slide 4: Branches of the military should always be capital. They are not capitalized. Also the United States Marine Corps is missing from the list (of which my husband is a veteran).
I have purchased better virtual field trips from TPT, this one was just okay.
