Changing of the Guard Sunday, July 1, 2007  Janine: “I was looking forward to seeing the changing of the guard all week. This is really the quintessential London event. We see it depicted on TV, and this immediately comes to mind when people envision London. I even heard someone say that this is London’s version of Disney World. Although this spectacle did not live up to what I imagined, I am glad I witnessed it. It really is a London must see, and I will enjoy sharing the pictures.”

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.
