Ready, Set, Go! Friday, June 22, 2007 Hello everyone! Ali, Jennifer and I were so excited for our trip that we arrived at the airport a little after 4 P.M. I still cannot believe that I will be touring Europe in less than 24 hours! I have been looking forward to this experience all of my life, and I am even more excited to share this experience with some fellow teachers. I bought a new digital camera for the occasion, and I plan to take as many pictures as possible so I can create an iMovie and/or PowerPoint of my experiences to share with my students. I'm a bit apprehensive about the seven hour flight! Hopefully Ali and Jennifer and the other girls can keep me entertained! I look forward to sharing my experiences with you!Miss Y / 0 comments |
About the Adventure “You find no man, at all intellectual, who is willing to leave London. No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.” - Samuel Johnson (1777) From June 22nd to July 2nd, eight students and their professor will explore firsthand sites of primary interest to English teachers throughout greater London, Oxford, and Stratford-on-Avon. While doing so, they'll write about the value of curriculum as lived experience in the context of English language and literature, critique the educational value of contemporary British artistic and cultural events, and go on to develop a plan for teaching and learning the English language arts that addresses experiential learning and authentic reading, writing, listening, and speaking activities. Moravian sends student teachers to inner city London neighborhoods each semester, and this course will allow registrants to explore in detail ways to use the city's resources to construct curriculum.
