On October 16-17, Lance Williams' US History and Government classes traveled to Springfield, IL, on a two-day field trip to "Walk Where Lincoln Walked."
The field trip was part of the classes' "Lincoln Research Project," and helped students learn more about our nation's 16th president and do on-site research for their research project.
"This field trip is the beginning of what will become my classes' 'Lincoln Research Project,' which will continue throughout the year and culminate in a student-made documentary on our 16th President," Lance said. "The field trip allowed students a hands-on, on-site experience of the life of Abraham Lincoln. The students had a blast, and I believe we got some history buffs out of the trip."
The field trip consisted of a visit to:
- New Salem, IL
- the Lincoln Home
- the Old State Capitol
- the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum
- the Lincoln Tomb
"We were the last tour at the Lincoln Tomb, and being so, the students were asked if they wanted to help fold the flags in front of the tomb!" said Lance. "It was quite a cool experience for the students."
