The "Duckumentary"

We are leaving for this trip at 5:00 a.m. tomorrow, and even though I can't wait, I don't want to get up that early. For my "duckumentary", I have borrowed this duck from Mr. Merrill as the subject of all my pictures and videos.

I will also try do student interviews at each of the sites we go to, so now I just need to find students who are willing to do interviews.

8th Grade Trip to Washington D.C.

Finally, it's time for our much awaited trip to DC. Everyone is excited, however, I have a sinking feeling that this will be less of a week of enjoyment and more of a week-long course in American history. Our teacher, Mr. Merrill, who has a special affinity for rubber duckies, has directed us to journal our entire trip. For my journal, I will be blogging all my entries instead of writing them so I can add pictures. I will also be borrowing one of Mr. Merrill's ducks so I can create a "duckumentary" (you'll see what I mean when I post it). I'm very excited to be visiting some of the places that we have studied about in class and I really want to go to Colonial Williamsburg where interpreters reenact what actually happened in the 1700s. I hope this trip is interesting, educational, but most of all, I just want to have fun with my friends.
