Washington D.C. Field Trip

I think the field trip was kind of exciting and was somewhat worth it in my opinion. I definitely enjoyed the coach bus we went on because they are so much better than school busses, so that was a plus. I liked walking and seeing all the famous buildings and structures of DC, but it could have been more pleasureable if it was not so warm. I think the play and performance was very good and I thought the actors and actresses were great. I thought they got their point across very well and their reenactments were so well performed that they impressed me a lot. I think getting the audience to participate was a great idea and made my experience more fun. After learning about Shakespeare's language, I will approach it differently in Julius Caesar and use the techniques learned at the play. I will look for clues in the text to figure out what is going on and paraphrase it to understand it beter. Hopefully these techniques will help me understand what goes on in the plays. My favorite part of the show was the fighting scene from Hamlet because it was full of action and kept me interested throughout. I pretty much enjoyed all the fighting scenes for the same reasons. I liked Union Station a lot and that was probably my favorite part of the field trip. I had a very good luch and I even bought a vuvuzuela from a gift shop. I really missed going to the Library of Congress because I was interested to see what was in there. Overall, I enjoyed this field trip but I think it could have been a lot better.
