2. Format for Trip Project Name of location Why you chose to visit One thing you learned by visiting it How it is relevant (connects) to our study of American History or the founding ideals Picture of you and your group AT the location!

3. U.S. Botanical Garden Curiosity and an ability to recommend it to students led me there There is more than one type of Aloe plant… I assumed just one. Demonstrates the geographical differences of regions, but similarities in plant development and usage

4. Ulysses S. Grant Memorial Was at the end of the mall by me While it’s to “President” Grant, is a Civil War General statue He led Union forces during the Civil War, which we just finished studying

5. National Art Gallery An interest in art, or at least trying it Furniture can qualify as art Much of that furniture is classical pieces from Colonial America with intricate inlays

6. James Garfield Memorial Also at my end of the mall Again, to “President” Garfield, but erected by Civil War vets for his service While Garfield also led troops in the Civil War, he would later become president…briefly.
