Night of the Notables is a 4th grade project where the 4th grader picks a notable person they would like to learn more about. Thomas and his classmates have spent the last 1 1/2 months researching and writing a speech about their person.
As you can tell Thomas is not very happy about it. He didn't get the person he wanted (Frank Lloyd Wright). There wasn't a book at the 4th grade reading level about him. Anyway, he has been really upset by it all month. He was given the person Thomas Jefferson which he did a great job at researching and writing his speech.
Here is Thomas speaking to the audience. He had lots and lots of information on Thomas Jefferson like his nickname was Red Fox, he is on the $2.00 bill and the nickel, he wrote the Declaration of Independence, he was a poor speaker and had a high pitch voice and he was in debt by $2 million (in today's money) and he designed the Monticello, Virginia State House and the University of Virginia buildings and grounds. 
Good Job, Thomas!!!!We are all glad it is done.

Some things are just good to have over. You just can't get around that. One of those hard life lessons. I love the picture of Thomas Jefferson with the scowl. It may have been more accurate than we know......
