| Title: | Senator George Norris: The Public Servant Life |
| Description: | Senator George Norris: The Public Servant Life: In this two-part series (each lesson is 30 minutes) students investigate what it means to be a public servant. We do this through the life of Nebraska’s own, Senator George Norris, exploring his life through primary sources such as photos, artifacts, a political cartoon, and stories. Sometimes these two Nebraska Sam lessons are hosted in Norris’s McCook home and other times, they are hosted at the Nebraska History Museum. The central questions are:
Lesson 1. Who did Senator Norris look up to as he grew up to be a public servant? (30 minutes)
Lesson 2. What did Senator Norris accomplish as a public servant? (30 minutes, can be separated from Lesson 1)
