Students will be broken up into interviewing teams and must work cooperatively together. Each team will be assigned a historic site and will be responsible for creating their own questions based upon class lessons and team research of Washington, D.C., to answer while on the trip. Students will use recording equipment to interview classmates at the site and digital cameras to capture memorable and historical highlights from this three day journey that relate to the team's developed questions. Upon returning, students will edit their interviews to create podcasts. Their final product will consist of podcasts that will act as a digital scrapbook of the journey to our nation's capitol. Final products will be posted on the district's website for the educational community to enjoy and explore.
