By Alex Miller

How would you like to earn half an academic credit and at the same time travel to Europe? Mrs. Weinstein is accepting signups for her overseas nine day tour of England, Wales, and Ireland. All you need to do is complete the pre-requisite requirements, listed in the informational packet that you can get from Mrs. Weinstein, and complete a travel journal while you are there. The dates for the trip are April 4th to the 12th, 2009. You will visit many popular tourist attractions while in Europe. For example, Big Ben and Parliament, Westminster Abbey, Windsor Castle, The Globe Theatre, Piccadilly Circus, The Changing of the Guard, Hyde Park, Oxford and Trinity Colleges, Stratford, Blarney Castle, Bunratty Castle, and much more! The cost of the trip is $2,480 (airfare included) for students and $2,770 (airfare included) for adults. All entrance fees and lodging fees are included.

You can just attend the trip without doing any work, and receive no credit. To get the half a credit for the trip you must read four approved books before the trip, such as Clay by David Almond, or I Will Plant you a Lilac Tree by Laura Hillman, keep a travel journal while overseas and then set aside twenty hours after the trip for meetings and post-trip assignments. A list of books and various rules and regulations can be found in the curriculum packet that is being given out by Mrs. Weinstein. To sign up or for more information, please see Mrs. Weinstein in room D3.
