@iamthatenglishteacher: #ushistory #TikTokLearningCampaign Standing tall in Washington, D.C., the Washington Monument isn't just a historic landmark—it's an obelisk, a unique architectural shape with ancient roots. In this U.S. history and grammar moment, we break down what an obelisk is, why the Washington Monument changes color partway up, and how its name offers a quick apostrophe lesson (hint: no apostrophe needed in Washington Monument). Let's learn history, vocabulary, and grammar-all in one. #WashingtonMonument #wordoftheday #obelisk

Thanks for the info. It’s pronounced Ah-ba-lisk, lisk rhymes with whisk.
