The History Herald: Crazy, Wild, and Dangerous Pets of History - Oh My!
Extra! Extra! Read All About It! In this one day class, come find out about the craziest animals that famous people of history kept as their pet!  Skunks, Kangaroos, Eels! Which one would you want?

We will explore the past by looking at some of the craziest and wildest pets kept by some famous people throughout time. 
- John Quincy Adams and his pet alligator
-Lucius Licinius Crassus and his pet eel
- Gérard de Nerval and his lobster
-Elvis Presley and his pet wallaby
- Theodore Roosevelt and his pet badger that bit people :-)
- Lord Byron and his pet bear
- George Clooney's pet pig
- Benjamin Harrison and his pet possums
- Josephine Bonaparte and her pet orangutan
- US First Lady Grace Coolidge and her pet raccoon

We will talk about these crazy pet choices and what it would be like to have these animals as pets. We will share stories of our own pets and then come up with some even crazier pet choices based of the student's interests and ideas. We will then use Kahoot to play some fun games revolving around the topic! This is a fun class to learn some history and science while having fun!

Learning Goals

Students will improve their ability to collaborate with peers, discuss interesting topics, and learn more about history and science through this class.

I have been challenging and elevating students for over 10 years to delve deeply into the issues of our past and wrestle with the realities of our present and future. Each conversation will be open and honest but guided with the necessary care for students of this age. I believe it is our job as educators to not teach children what to think- but how to think and allow them to unearth the truths that are often hidden within the words of pages.
