I was watching a re-run of the Office tonight, and it was the episode where instead of hiring a male stripper for the girls' bachelorette party, they hired a Benjamin Franklin impersonator. Anyway. . .Michael kept talking about Benjamin Franklin being a great US president, and that reminded me of some of my own students' lack of US history/social studies knowledge.
Here's my top 3 favorite student questions:
1. What is the blue stuff on the map?
2. Did World War I start when a Duke killed an ostrich?
3. Did they have cars during the Civil War? (no) Ok, what about automobiles?
