Living History Museum Assignment

Our Social Studies teacher gave us the assignment of picking, researching, and then portraying someone who impacted history. I decided to do my assignment on Ann Harnett, who was the first woman signed to the All American Professional Girls Baseball League in 1943. The experience was very educational.  I not only learned a lot about Ann Harnett, but I learned about every historical person that was portrayed in my class. While I would modify the assignment for my own classroom by giving more specific instructions, the Living History Museum will definitely be a part of my curriculum. I think it was fun and wonderful learning experience.
