Einstein and His Times

Scholars research and present on the historical happenings of 1919. After sharing their findings, pupils debate about how Congress dealt with the moral issues of the time. The evaluation asks learners to write a persuasive essay describing whether they believe Einstein should be the Man of the Year.
