US Landmarks Research Pennants (15 Printable Projects for Geography)

Description

These US landmarks research pennants are a simple way to make social studies feel more engaging without adding extra prep.

Each pennant gives students a clear structure to research a famous U.S. landmark, organize their findings, and turn their work into a finished display piece. It’s the kind of activity that works just as well for independent work as it does for a full class project.

Everything is designed to be straightforward, print, hand out, and let students get started.

What’s included

• 15 landmark research pennants (color)
• 15 landmark research pennants (black and white)
• Blank pennant templates (color and black and white)

Landmarks included

Statue of Liberty, White House, Mount Rushmore, Golden Gate Bridge, Grand Canyon, Empire State Building, Hoover Dam, Gateway Arch, Space Needle, Hollywood Sign, Freedom Tower (One World Trade Center), Cloud Gate (The Bean), St. Louis Cathedral, and The Alamo.

How it works

Students research each landmark and complete the pennant sections, including key facts, description, purpose, and location. Once finished, the pennants can be cut out and displayed around the classroom or used as part of a presentation.

When to use these

These work well for geography units, U.S. landmarks topics, or anytime you want a low-prep research activity. They’re also useful for early finishers or independent work when you need something meaningful but easy to set up.
