Words in the Wild: Rokeby Museum
One of our Words in the Wild excursions is to the Rokeby Museum. As described by their education team, our students are in "for a day of active learning! Students will be up on their feet as they explore the historic house, farm buildings, grounds and exhibits. Examine historic tools, objects and images as we answer the question, “what are museums, and why do we have them?” Students will approach the past from the inside out, starting with the self, to frame a discovery about differences and likenesses with Rokeby’s historic residents. Conversations will center on concepts of fairness/unfairness, empathy and taking action as they hear and relate to stories about the Robinsons, their staff, and the freedom seekers!"
