2017: 10th Grade Pilot Class: Learning Expedition to Marfa, TX
We are Marfa bound! The students in Ms. Payne's English II course and Ms. Casper's World History class are traveling to West Texas in order to explore Truth, Beauty, and Goodness. We will analyze art in the galleries of downtown Marfa, hike in the hills, horseback ride on the trails, explore historic Fort Davis, witness the stars at the McDonald Observatory, and (hopefully) witness the Marfa lights. The learning expedition will include time to individually reflect, write, and discuss our experiences as we connect them to our work in the Classical Humanities classroom.
