Final Battle of American Revolution

Trying to make History interesting for the students, I had a play that told the story of the Battle of Yorktown. It was one of three historical plays we put on during the lunch period for the other classes.

One might forget the date, but no one will forget seeing George Washington accepting the sword of surrender from Cornwallis over chicken ala king and chocolate milk.

This was many years ago and getting General Washington's army armed was a real PITA! We had toy and BB rifles brought in to the office by parents and stored there except for rehearsals.

Making History interesting for students... anyone remember these Newscast From The Past?

I remember seeing Walter Cronkite's history program and hearing his famous "... It was a day like all days, filled with those events that alter and illuminate our times. And you were there."
