Last Friday, English teacher Jane Donovan and American History teacher Zach Dziedzic entwined history and rhetoric by hosting a joint class in the Rev. Lloyd George, S.J. Lounge to recreate the debate of the Olive Branch Petition of 1775.
With the combination of persuasive writing skills and knowledge of the historical context surrounding the debate, students were able to recreate the many different personas in the debate using their own interpretations.
Thanks go out to Jane Donovan and Zach Dziedzic for making this happen.
