What a great way to connect students to the world around them than using close to home resourses.

Our class took a field trip, yes we're in college, and yes we're still young enough to go on field trips and yes we still have to sign permision slips.

On the Westward side of South bend you can find this little area of History that is complete with knowledgable adults to guide you through it. Our class broke into groups allowing us to venture where our interests wanted. Which is also another great option in trying to get your students to learn more. Interests guided learning becomes more personal and less academic. If the students have choice then they have less are to complain because they had that freedom. The only challenge in this is making sure that students are truely going where they would like and not just with their friends.
