This week you will be taking a virtual Field Trip. This learning activity allows you to leave home, experience a site relevant to this week’s lesson on women’s history, and complete an assignment that goes along with that (virtual) trip. There are many destinations to choose from for your virtual field trip:

For this assignment, explore one of the options above.
Explore the site by looking at the maps, pictures, exhibits, virtual tours, educational programming, and more. Then provide a short reflection on your experience (2 pages APA format). You can also create PowerPoint if you prefer. The PowerPoint should be five or more slides and include references.
You can use the prompts below to help guide your reflection:
Which location/museum/exhibit did you choose and why? Be sure to include a list of what you explored at your location.
What did you learn that was new to you?
Which part of the exhibit did you feel was handled particularly well?
About what would you have liked more information?
What was eye-opening/fascinating?
Suppose you knew nothing about Addams, the women’s suffrage movement, the women at the Seneca Falls Convention, and others. What would the site tell you about this movement, these women, how they lived, or their importance?
What did the tour add to your knowledge of Women’s Suffrage, Wells, Stanton, Anthony, or Addams outside of what was provided in your readings?
Is anything else worth noting?
