The
State Dining Room set for dinner
|
|
After
you have completed the activity "Guess Who’s Coming
to Dinner?", you need to seat your guests at dinner.
Use the seating charts supplied here. Only ten can sit at
each table (in the White House State Dining Room, a total
of 140 guests can be served dinner). The president and first
lady are seated for you. Fill in the seating chart based
on your guest list. Remember that the head of state sits
to the right of the first lady while the head of state’s
spouse sits to the right of the president. Plan for who
will sit next to whom, and think about what topics they
might discuss during dinner. You might want to research
in depth the guest of honor or invited guests. Play the
role of the president, first lady, and guests at your invented
dinner and create an imagined conversation for your classmates.
Dig into history and do the same exercise in 1800, 1900,
1950, or some other date of your choice.
