History books

Students will be asked to bring their history books in (if they have one) or share with a neighbor. Students will randomly turn to a page in their history book, find a name they are familiar with, and write a story pretending to be that person for a day. What did they do in the morning? Did anything interesting happen to them that day, politically or just with their family? Students should be creative, and really can make this an interesting and fun activity. Extra points for historically accurate information.
