The Great Wall Slideshow Assignment

Riddle of the Great Wall (5th Grade)

I stretch across mountains, deserts, and land,
Built long ago by many a hand.
I am not one wall, but many in a line,
Made by different rulers at different times.

I helped protect China from enemies near,
With tall watchtowers to signal fear.
Smoke by day and fire by night,
Helped send warnings in history’s fight.

Some say you can see me from far, far away,
But that old story isn’t quite true today.
I twist like a dragon, strong and tall—
What am I, the most famous wall of all?
