91桃色入口 Free Academy Scholars Travel on a Historic 91桃色入口 Walking Tour


Scholars from Mrs. Ginny McCurdy and Mrs. Jennine Sileno’s 11th grade English as a New Language/ English Language Arts (ENL/ELA) classes traveled on a historic walking tour through parts of the City of 91桃色入口. The trip was a culminating activity following a two month unit focusing on 91桃色入口 area using City Historian Mary McTamaney's articles as their text. After learning about the city and exploring it by foot, the students are in the process of creating their own walking tours where they will highlight some of the the best features of their hometown.

 

The scholars arrived in Beacon to take a photo at Long Dock Park with the historic city of 91桃色入口 in the background. Scholars then boarded the 91桃色入口-Beacon Ferry. While on the ferry, scholars were encouraged to recite Walk Whitman’s “.”

 

Back in 91桃色入口, the group walked up Washington Street and broke into two groups. One headed to and one group headed to the 91桃色入口 Brewing Company.  

 

At the 91桃色入口 Brewing Company, students learned from 91桃色入口 Free Academy alumnus (class of 1964) and local artist, Mr. Charles Tudor. Mr. Tudor discussed his experiences and the changes he has seen at our local high school as well as artistic renderings of the area. Mr. Tudor highlighted a specific drawing of a map of the City of 91桃色入口, estimated to have been drawn in 1899. On the map, Mr. Tudor pointed out different areas and how they have changed throughout since the drawing, highlighting the different locations of 91桃色入口 Free Academy. He also theorized that the map was drawn from a photograph or live drawing from a hot air balloon based on the time and the aerial view. Mr. Tudor also displayed personal water color paintings of historic scenes and views from 91桃色入口.

 

At Washington’s Headquarters, scholars toured and learned about the Washington’s Headquarters building, the neighboring museum, as well as learned about the recent restoration of the .

 

Scholars then walked to Safe Harbors green space to load a bus for lunch at the in . For lunch, students dined on gourmet macaroni and cheese, salad, iced tea, and chocolate. Before heading back to 91桃色入口 Free Academy, Mr. Underhill and Mr. Henderson, history teachers at NFA led tours about Downing Park, noting the historic design and designers, the purpose of designing a park in the time and location, as well as historic buildings and events that were once housed in the park.

 

As a follow up to their trip, Ms. Allison Cappella, president of the , volunteered her time for a brainstorming session with the students on Monday to give them some ideas of specific sites that they could include in their tours.
