On to Kensington Palace Monday, July 2, 2007  Janine: “After leaving Hampton Court, we took a trip out to Wimbledon and then visited Kensington Palace. While I was a bit disappointed in the Palace overall, the tribute to Princess Diane was nice. The gardens here were beautiful also. Finally, the weather was cooperating, and it was a great day to be walking around…This has been an amazing trip on both an educational and personal level. I am very thankful to have had this opportunity. It is something I will never forget, and I will enjoy sharing it with generations of students to come.”

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.
