I personally would love to have this student in my classroom. She is not only inspiring as she is not afraid to separate herself from the main crowd, but she provides a great history lesson for her class each day. I love history and I love creativity, and this young girl has inspired me as a future educator. I think once I am a teacher, I would like to try this myself, maybe weekly with my students. Coming in dressed up like a historical figure once a week would make for such a fun and engaging lesson in history! |
