2019 Images of Greatness Field Trip Reflection

Write a blog post reflecting on our field trip last week to Des Moines to visit the Des Moines Art Center, the State Historical Museum, the Iowa Hall of Pride, Des Moines University Medical School, and Charlie Hugunin's house.  Answer the following questions.  Include pictures to illustrate your points.  You can use this link to access Mrs. Edlin's pictures, and/or you can add any of your own personal pictures: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ExVkLqzLdqEkkyyHOxb-r169S5nG_qyS?usp=sharing

1.  We made 5 educational stops on the trip.  Rank them from least favorite to most favorite, and explain why you gave the rankings you did.

2.  At the art museum, you had to find 4 things: your favorite piece, best example of "art," famous artist(s) you saw, and an example of a piece that made you wonder why it is "art?"  Give titles and artists, reflect, and include pictures if you'd like.

3.  What was the most educational part of the trip, and why?  What is something specific that you learned?

4.  What was the most fun part of the trip, and why?

5.  How, in your opinion, does this trip fit the theme "Images of Greatness?"  

6.  If you could improve the trip in any way for the group of 8th graders next year, what would you change?  Explain.
