Lesson Plan Slideshow - Pine Tree State
Created by Brittany Cook, MHS Bicentennial Fellow
Why is Maine called the "Pine Tree State?"
The images and text of this slide show will guide K-2 classrooms through our accompanying bicentennial lesson plan and give students a look at, and prompts about, historic images of iconic Maine plants, animals, and landforms.
This Tichnor Brothers gloss postcard from the 1930s promoted Maine tourism. The image is a combination of photograph and painting, and shows white pine tassels and cones.
