Excerpt from Citizenship Plays: A Dramatic Reader for Upper Grades

What does history mean to you? Is it alive, or is it dead and buried in the past? Is it a list of dry happenings with drier dates, or is it full of exciting or solemn moments and people doing the things you do, only in a finer, bigger way?

If you had been present at the signing of the Declaration of Independence, do you suppose you would ever think of it as an uninteresting document of long hard words? Would the members of the Convention ever seem far off and unreal? You can be present, you can take part in the discussion, you can sign that memorable paper. If not actually Hancock, Franklin, Jefferson, and the rest, you can have their feelings and experiences by playing that you are those men in this most solemn moment of their lives.
