The struggle for independence is more than charts, trends, and abstract academic theories. It is the story of what Patrick Henry labeled “wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty!” On this outing I was able to re-live that great struggle and the American Revolution was brought to life!

I attended an event called "Revolutionary War Adventure" this event made history fun and shed light on the American Revolution. During the event I visited many posts that highlight key aspects of the War.

I learned that history can be fun and exciting if presented as such. This was a great experience for my family. I think this would be an excellent place for a field trip. The reenactments were great and I learn something new every time I attend. Getting into character and bringing the audience in makes the information stick.

I can incorporate the idea of theatre and acting into my classroom. Having the students research a side or a main person and act it out for the class will help the class memorize the information better. I could also put together a play, where the students work together to make the costumes memorize their lines and direct.

I would like my students to experience this field trip because it is living history. Showing a student, a book with information about the history of the world they live in. When you give that same student the opportunity to see it first-hand, hear, and feel the sounds of the past now you have give that student a lesson that will last a life-time.
