Have you ever dressed up as a historical figure?

Drew Fortune
Drew Fortune 8 months ago

When I was growing up, I had a teacher who would sometimes dress up the part, and I thought it was great. At the bare minimum, he always had a tie or shirt directly tied to his lesson for the day. I have a Napoleon outfit in my Amazon cart, with a gift card ready to go. I think today might be the day I make the leap from the teacher wearing a brown jacket to the teacher who sometimes dresses in costume.

    Drew Fortune I like the idea very much, though I've never done it myself. When my students present their Museum Projects (based on an ancient civilization), I ask them to dress as an important historical figure and be interviewed by their peers. 

    One of my colleagues who teaches U.S. History runs a similar activity where her students dress as historical figures to present their research. This immersive approach brings the past to life and encourages deeper understanding.
