Last week, the English Department of the Elementary School, Mrs. Monnett, Mrs. Kroeker, and Mrs. Hoover, took the 4th graders on a field trip to see 鈥淢eeting Mr. Lincoln鈥 at the Discovery Theater in Washington 大象传媒
The play portrays two young people who want to ask President Lincoln some questions and who then turn to the audience to ask for help. The audience helps them figure out what to ask, and in fact everyone gets to talk to the president. As the program so aptly states: 鈥淭his is an interactive play about identity, equality, and following big dreams.鈥
The students enjoyed the play. One student remarked on the ride home: 鈥漎ou know Mrs. Monnett, President Lincoln was so authentic; exactly how I had always imagined he would look and sound like鈥. I completely agree.
