Arpie: A Pledge Of Allegiance Do-Over

Arpie: Every year in my class I combine a lesson in dictionary and thesaurus use with a lesson on the meaning of the pledge. We rewrite the pledge together as a class and usually come up with something like this: I promise to be loyal to the Flag of the United States of America and our country that the flag makes us think of. We are a country where God watches over us. We can’t be split up. There is freedom and fairness for everyone. Not as lyrical as the pledge and quite a few more words, but hopefully it helps kids understand the meaning of their daily recitation a bit more.

Question: How would you rewrite our Pledge of Allegiance, if you could?
