Redesigning the Entrance to Stonehenge Monday, July 2, 2007  Adrienne: “Today Elise and I had the opportunity to go to Stonehenge. I was so very excited because I had been learning about this place for the past six years as part of my studies for architecture. I was so excited the entire bus ride, but sadly when I got there I was very disappointed with the entrance. Stonehenge was just next to the road and there was just a loop in the grass to walk around the monument. I would like to prepare a lesson in which students re-design the entrance to the monument…that has more [respect for] history.”

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.
