“I learned a lot about how many different things came to be, and you taught us all these interesting facts that I never knew. Not only that, but when you have different people dress up and pass around your props, I get more into it and find your program more interesting. Whenever my classmates dress up, it makes me pay more attention and gives me a better visual on how things were back then.”
