My sister Katie posted a picture quiz last week on her blog of all her travels throughout Europe. She was amazed that people didn't recognize those places more easily, so I thought I would do the same. These are a few of the things I have taught my students in the last week. See how many you know:
A) Who said, "Give me liberty or give me death." Patrick Henry
B) Who said, "There! His majesty can now read my name without his glasses." John Hancock
C) Who said, "These are the times that try men's souls." Thomas Paine
D) What document says, "We hold these truths to self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights. that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Declaration of Independence
E) Who is Nathan Hale? Patriot who was captured by the British and hung as a spy
F) What is Ethan Allen famous for? Leading the Green Mountain boys in the victory at Fort Ticonderoga
G) How are Sam Adams and John Adams related? Cousins
