National Constitution Center and Independence National Park
May 28th
We traveled to Old City to visit Christ Church, go on the Independence National Park’s Underground Railroad Tour, and the explore the National Constitution Center. David Bradley came along with us, and made it possible for the group to see Living News, a play he directed that is performed at the National Constitution Center, exploring constitutional rights as they apply to modern issues. The students really enjoyed the play and ended up borrowing several key dramatic elements for their final performance. Here is a link to the Living News website:

Students also looked at a fascinating photo exhibit that paired the work of student photographers from Philadelphia and Afghanistan. The exhibit was extremely helpful in arranging our final photo presentation.
