On Thursday, March 22, 69 Upper School students and nine chaperones will cross the Atlantic for the 2018 Global Urban Studies Initiative trip in the City of Lights.
This French History & Paris Explorations trip will also include day excursions to Versailles, Verdun, and Normandy. Interdisciplinary and cross-grade-level at its core, the trip will be tied to courses in English, History, French, current events, and Art History.
This trip was designed for Upper School students due to its deep curricular relevance for freshmen engaged in their urban studies unit on Paris, as well as current and former sophomores studying modern European history and literature with History Teacher Kevin Shertzer and English Teacher Bojana Hill. The trip will, of course, offer an extraordinary “live learning” experience for those studying the French language and culture with Dr. Valerie Yoshimura.
As ninth graders have moved from literary analysis in the fall—reading Modernist expat writers Hemingway and Fitzgerald—to urban analysis this spring, the freshmen will explore Paris’s history, art, music, theater, politics, national identity, and other timely issues.
To get a glimpse of the Paris landscape, students attended a screening of
Amelie
this week.
Bon voyage, students
—enjoy this exciting learning adventure!
