What is the definition of Nationally? π π
In a way relating to the whole nation.
Alright class, settle down and letβs take a look!
That's a really good start from the dictionary β βrelating to the whole nation.β But letβs unpack that a little bit more, shall we?
βNationallyβ means something is connected to πeverywhereπ in our country. Think of it like this: if you say something is "nationally known," it's famous across all states and territories β from Maine to California!
It describes things that affect or are shared by the entire nation. Like, a nationally televised show - everyone can watch it! Or a nationally recognized holiday - celebrated in every state.
Letβs try an example: "The national anthem is sung at sporting events." Why is that βnationallyβ significant? (Pause for answers β encourage students to think about how the anthem is heard everywhere.)
Exactly! It's a symbol shared by all Americans, no matter where they live.
So, remember:
Nationally = Across the whole nation.
Got it?
Do you have any questions about that, or would you like me to give you another example?
