As anyone in the classroom knows, connecting historical learning to a real situation magnifies that learning tremendously. Helping students understand that they can indeed play a role in policymaking is invaluable. In this article, the author invites young students to consider weighing the importance of different historical figures--and possibly proposing a new statue in the U.S. Capitol to represent their state. Creating a new statue would require a lot of work and money, but anyone can begin the investigation. The author suggests a visit to the National Statuary Hall website to learn how to start, at www.aoc.gov/cc/art/nsh/index.cfm. This website is a valuable resource for many classroom activities relating to heroes and geography, state history, and representative government. (Contains 1 note.)
