Mount Rushmore in Three Words Challenge - Recap

Mount Rushmore in Three Words Challenge: If you had to describe Mount Rushmore in just three words, which words would you choose — and why?

1. Individual brainstorm.
a. Think about:

• What you saw in the video.
• What you read in the article.
• Your overall impression: visuals, feelings, symbols, messages, facts.

b. Write down three words and one or two sentences explaining each word.

2. Pair discussion.
a. Share your three words in pairs and compare your choices.
b. Agree on a shared set of three final words and prepare to explain the reasoning behind each word with examples or references.

3. Share and vote.
Each group presents their choice of 3 words and justifies it to the class.

Optional voting:
After all the group presentations, students vote on the most thought-provoking, original, or accurate trio.
