The Time of His Life
Mrs. Liz Butcher’s Advanced Placement Government Classes at Moore High School spent the day with the Oklahoma George Washington Teaching Ambassador. It was September 17-Constitution Day-so the discussion centered on Washington’s impact on the calling of the Convention, his leadership during its creation, and his behind-the-scenes effort in the ratification process. Students learned that the General had the “gift of silence” (as John Adams quipped); so using signs that related major points of his life, they created a human timeline without saying a word. After much maneuvering (and a few laughs) the classes put the time of Washington’s life in order!
