This would not have had the same impact if I had dressed up. <BR/><BR/>Mr. S. shared this site with him Mom over the weekend. He had her google his name. The post comes up as the third entry on Google. When he told me that this morning I said, "Stay with me kid....I'll make ya famous." I was surprised the post was indexed that quick.EHThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17964668210604436937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20993778.post-1161579023455659552006-10-23T00:50:00.000-04:002006-10-23T00:50:00.000-04:00It is really great when you can talk someone into ...It is really great when you can talk someone into doing a living history presentation...or do it yourself, but I think the students get more when you invite someone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20993778.post-1161525903411413282006-10-22T10:05:00.000-04:002006-10-22T10:05:00.000-04:00He's a brave man indeed.

He has been nice enough to provide emails and cd's with copies of his pics knowing I would probably be placing this on this site or my classroom site. <BR/><BR/>Polski, that's a real shame about your Civil War guys. We met up with some reinactors yesterday on a field trip we took complete with swords, guns, and small cannon to boot. We were at our agricultural center far, far away from our campus. Look for some pics in an upcoming post. I made about 40 and I'm still trying to upload them all from my camera phone.EHThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17964668210604436937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20993778.post-1161394185090198952006-10-20T21:29:00.000-04:002006-10-20T21:29:00.000-04:00We *used* to have a couple of gentleman from a Civ...We *used* to have a couple of gentleman from a Civil War roundtable visit our school in Civil War uniforms and all the stuff a civil war soldier might have carried with him (including rifles, pistols, and knives.) One year, with permission from the local PD., they even brought along a small cannon. Our students were thrilled to hear the rifles cackle and the BOOM of the cannon. THEN, we got a principal who absolutely refused to let these gentlemen enter our school if they had any sort of "weapon".Dan Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13397636504405471939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20993778.post-1161383702872913842006-10-20T18:35:00.000-04:002006-10-20T18:35:00.000-04:00No, EHT, I would not teach a lesson in tights, esp...No, EHT, I would not teach a lesson in tights, especially if someone like you was lurking with a camera to show the world.
