Lesson 25 - Watch Out!

Anna: Hello from Washington, DC! This city has many monuments and memorials.

Anna: Today I am visiting the ones built in memory of our Presidents: Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Roosevelt.

Anna: I want to learn more about them.

Anna: Hey! Watch out!

Dan: Sorry! I didn’t see you.

Anna: You were not looking. You should be more careful.

Dan: I know I should be more careful. But this game is really fun.

Anna: What kind of game?

Dan: You have to find things that aren’t really there.

Anna: How can you find things that aren’t really there?

Dan: They’re in your phone. See?

Anna: I see. It’s like a scavenger hunt.

Dan: That’s right!

Anna: I don’t have time for games. I want to learn about U.S. presidents.

Dan: Then you should play this game! When you find an American symbol, you win points and a Fun Fact about a U.S. President.

Anna: I have time for this game!

Dan: Here are the symbols that I caught: the Statue of Liberty for 20 points, Uncle Sam for 40 points and the American flag for 60 points.

Anna: What symbol are you looking for now?

Dan: I am looking for the bald eagle. That is 100 points! It should be near the Washington Monument.

Anna: This game is awesome.

Dan: You ought to buy the app right now. It’s called “Catch Americana.”

Anna: Got it. Catch Americana.

Anna: Thanks! Good luck!

Dan: Good luck to you too!

Anna: This is the Jefferson Memorial. I know that Thomas Jefferson signed the Declaration of Independence! Now, where is that symbol?

Anna: Here it is! My first one. It’s an American flag! I won 60 points!

Anna: An American flag works well for Thomas Jefferson. I see lots of American flags on Independence Day!

Anna: Where is my Jefferson Fun Fact?

Voice: In his lifetime, Thomas Jefferson wrote about 19,000 letters!

Anna: I did not know that. Where is the next symbol?
