[school bell rings] Hello, class. Your homework assignment as the U.S. states that you are was to make your state flag. A flag to stir pride in your citizens. A flag to stand proud on the American stage. A tough task, though not too tough with the guidelines I gave you upon which you will be graded. One. Keep it simple. Something a child could draw. Even if they need to simplify it again. Good enough. Two. Make it distinct at a distance. A flag is not a poster, it’s not wallpaper, it’s not a patch, it’s not money, or anything else looked at up close. No tiny details. It's a flag. It will be flying from afar among other flags and when the wind stops, you still need to be able to spot yours. Three colors or fewer unless you really know what you're doing. But if you think you do, you probably don't. Four. Symbols. Have them. Your colors and what you design with them should mean something. It should say something about your citizens. Five. Words on a flag. The ideal number is zero
