A Little About Us

Diary of a Merchant

Using excerpts from the Perkins Diary as guides,  students will   interpret a day in the life of merchant Simeon Perkins by making their own diary entries and presenting them to their fellow classmates.  Included in the program are a take home diary and practical experience with quill pens and ink. The students will partner to learn the colonial pastime of silhouette  drawing. 
Program Length: 1.5 hours. Gr 2 - 6
