Michael's Trip
My first ever trip to Europe was in 2011 with my colleague, Michael and eight high school students. While we didn’t visit the sites on this tour during that particular trip, we did visit London (and Shakespeare's Globe Theatre!) on our second trip three years later except this time, our group had grown to over thirty!!
Michael is a wonderful English teacher who is also passionate about history, particularly WWII. He was also the leader of our school’s first science themed trip which included the UK.
This is “Michael’s Trip”!
England and Scotland boast scientific genius, literary brilliance, and historical wonder around every corner.
For a more detailed synopsis of this trip, visit my blog.
