DC Here We Come (DCHWC)
Rationale:
In preparation
for our Washington DC trip in May, we will be researching several of the places
we plan to visit. This research
will provide the foundation for three separate projects: an i-movie that will
be shown to the parents at the information night and on the bus in DC before
visiting each site, a student lead docent tour of the site in Washington D.C.,
and a printed ÒInteractive TravelguideÓ providing a background of the site plus
an activity that your classmates must complete.
