In Mrs. Grubbs' AP European History class at Claremore High School, an innovative and engaging learning activity took place as students participated in a unique "Speed Dating" event. Channeling the spirit of the Age of Absolutism, students embraced the challenge of dressing up as historical figures from that era. From Louis XIV to Peter the Great, the classroom transformed into a lively historical gathering. As students rotated through their encounters, they engaged in conversations to explore the similarities and differences between the various monarchs and leaders of the Age of Absolutism. This hands-on and immersive approach not only brought history to life but also provided students with a deeper understanding of the political, social, and cultural dynamics of the time period. Mrs. Grubbs' innovative teaching methods continue to inspire a love for history and critical thinking among her students at Claremore High School.
