The eighth graders took a field trip Monday to Lincoln’s Cottage and Frederick Douglass House. They had the chance to consider the lives and lifestyles of both men, viewing the homes where they lived, learning about their families, and learning about their work and philosophy. This was the first time the eighth graders took this trip, and it coincides with their study of the Civil War and their memorization of speeches given by famous historical figures in Mr. Anderson and Ms. Coppola-Klein’s classes, including Douglass’s speech on Independence Day and Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address.
