Using the Massachusetts Honor Roll section, create a tournament bracket of these important people and conduct a discussion as a class about who they believe should be named the most significant Bay Stater in history and support their claims with reasoning and evidence. For each match-up, have students vote on who should advance in the tournament. Continue the tournament until a winner is chosen. Have students also consider the larger field beyond the winner and what their accomplishments say about our history.
