All Ye Who Can Read, Read This....Give me Liberty, or Give me Death

When I taught American History to Fifth Graders, I would dress up in Period clothing. come to class and read this piece to them. always had dead silence when I began and each year about 110 fifth graders would give me a standing ovation. They were always ready to fight anybody from England who supported the Crown. Lots of fun to do. My kids heard a lot of history presented to them by various people in period dress.

The world needs more teachers like the teacher you were.

Would that not have been awesome to hear that eloquent speech in person? And, sans ObamaPrompTer. Brilliant.

That's impressive, Stan. I wish my history teachers would have been that driven and creative.
