This lesson was also done during my student teaching and had a work sheet form the book and was used as a correcting/ lecture and had a slide show to go along with it. We also watched clips form the movie "Cromwell".

meets and ends (Today Governors and Presidents can do the same, but they don’t
do it except in extreme circumstances)
