Default NH Middle School Students Re-enact Gettysburg

Tonight on TV I viewed a show about this NH Middle School history teacher who had his students re-enact Gettysburg. Of course they studied the battle, but now they had to dress up, march, drill, camp out, and fight as Civil War soldiers. Pickett's Charge was cool even if only 20 students made it. This hands-on project seemed to be both educational and fun.
