Over the course of the week the students have many opportunities to connect with history and reflect 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 2014 Freedom Tour.
We used Google Voice at Gettysburg. This morning's reflection asked the student's to use their phone and respond to the following prompt:
"You are now standing on the very battlefield that turned the course of American history, where thousands of men died in a single battle over 150 years ago. You are seeing what the soldiers saw and the hot, humid weather is the same now as it was then. What feelings do you have? What connections have you made? What AHA moment occurred while you piece together from your learning from school to here?"
Below are several responses. Click to listen.
