Do you know about any of the following dates: Dec 16 Boston Tea Party, Dec 17th (1903) Wright Brothers 1st airplane flight, Dec 19th (1843) Charles Dickens “A Christmas Carol” published, and Dec 21(1620) Pilgrims land at Plymouth, Massachusetts.
If these things didn’t happen what would today be like? Also, think about how things have changed in today’s society since these things happened. Like the Government, Airplanes, and Holiday’s to name a few. Have these happenings been for the better or for the worse? What things have stayed the same? What kinds of changes do you want to make in history or what do YOU want to be know for over history? Please share your thoughts and ideas about the changes with the TeenScene Blog.
