History jumps to life!!!!

I loved the living history museum!! I really thought that it would be dull and boring.  I thought it was one of those projects that you would just spend money on and it would be pointless.  However, once I was involved in it, I realized just how fun and great it really is!!! I never knew how many people really impacted history and yet i had no idea who they even were.  This was such a weird realization though.  I do wish that some people had done some well known people though.  I mainly thought this because, everyone came up with really unique facts that could alter your opinion of the person.  This would have been really fascinating to hear about the people that you feel like you hear about all the time and yet you really don't know the truth behind it at all.  Anyways, I really plan on doing several of these throughout my teaching.  I think it would be great to have students choose a person in the time frame that you are studying.  But this means you could do multiple throughout the year.  I really think the students would improve on their researching and be more confident in themselves by the end of the year.  I loved this and can't wait to do it in my own classroom!
