Over the course of the week the students have many opportunities to connect with history and reflect about their learning using multiple avenues: journaling, blogging, discussions, Google Voice, and photography. Our hope is that the student's voice stamps a unique perspective of history and on the 2015 Freedom Tour.
We used Google Voice at Gettysburg at the General Lee statue. The guide emphasized that Longstreet questioned Lee's orders twice, yet, in the end, Longstreet followed Lee's orders. Had Lee followed Longstreet's advice, historians believe the outcome of the Battle of Gettysburg may have been very different.
This morning's reflection asked the student's to use their phone and respond to the following prompt:
"Tell about a time when you followed a leader whose cause you did not believe in."
