Let's find out who's the queen of the castle. In this unbreakable one-time lesson, you'll learn the true history behind each wife, then compare their stories to their portrayal in the Broadway musical, Six. Boring? N-n-n-n-n-no way! This class utilizes video, slideshow, primary documents, and a printable organizer (sorry, not sorry) to engage and educate learners.
