An Interview with Thomas Jefferson
"What do you think Thomas Jefferson was like as a person? What were his interests
and hobbies? Where did he go to school? Imagine yourself as a reporter in 1826,
about to interview Mr. Jefferson. Unfortunately, the former president is quite old and ill.
Out of courtesy, you decide to limit your interview to five questions. Choose the questions
you would ask, and read and hear Mr. Jefferson's own words."
