Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner

Have each student select an event or person from the timeline. Using any related articles in The Massachusetts Chronicles, books, or digital resources, have them research this person or event. With the information they have gathered, have students form smaller groups (4–6) and instruct that they are attending a dinner party together, even though their extraordinary Bay Staters lived in different time periods. Have them stay in character as they engage in discussion about their views on different subjects or events happening around them.
