A Wet Day Wednesday, June 27, 2007 Although the day in Stratord and Oxford was a rather wet one, we still felt a thrill from seeing Shakespeare's birthplace, grave site, and commemorative statue. We had to do a bit of power walking to fit it all in, but being English teachers, we are devoted to our FATHA WILL. Last night was also amazing! We got an exclusive tour of the National Theatre and then saw the production of Tennessee Williams' The Rose Tattoo which was extraordinary!!! That's all for now. ----Ali Jen and Nicole :)Ali Stoyko / 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.
