The students took on the identity with a name, clothing and characteristics of this Colonial figure. They were surprised at how much information they really learned about the era and how much they enjoyed presenting to the other classes. They dressed, spoke and presented their reports as if they were living in the Colonial times.

At night, the parents came to the Colonial museum to hear the students presentations. It was quite a culmination of our Colonial unit. I loved seeing their enthusiasm and excitement about their presentations. They were just bubbling over with excitement and pride.
