I teach 5th grade and one of my favorite parts is teaching U.S. History. Right now my students are learning about the events leading up to the American Revolution. Today, my students had a debate; Loyalists vs. Patriots discussing if America should become independent from Britain. Three students became the Loyalists, Thomas Hutchinson, Lord Dunmore, and Jonathan Boucher, and three became the Patriots, Mercy Otis Warren, Samual Adams, and Benjamin Franklin. The debators wore masks as you can see in the picture, and they're "Public Relations Assistant" are standing behind them. The students did a great job stating their character's beliefs and arguing (mostly correct) statements. It was fun to watch and even better when I heard a student say, "That was really fun!" at the end of the debate.
