9th Grade Trip to Met Museum: History Through Art
From Upper School World History Teacher Abby Bielski:
On June 1, 9th grade students visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art to celebrate their year studying Ancient History. Students prepared for the trip by recording a two-minute analysis of a specific work of art. Focusing on what they have studied, students did an excellent job situating these works in cultural context. With the help of Academic Technologist Matt Bavone, students uploaded their recordings to a radio podcast app called Spreaker. We crafted the recordings into playlists and created a student-made audio guide. Students spent two hours gallery-hopping while listening to their peers explain each work along the way. A special thank you to Chris Clark and the Flick staff for packing a tremendous picnic for us which we enjoyed in Central Park.
