A Virtual Field Trip

For English, a lot of places are limited with what the curriculum requires. I think one of the most important pieces of literature for students to learn, however, is Shakespeare. The virtual field trip offers many schools the ability to visit a play or scenes from a specific play that they're learning about. Shakespeare is very difficult to follow, especially if it isn't read out loud or students can't see facial expressions being made. The virtual field trips offer a remedy to this by allowing students to witness a play if they are regionally unable to do so. This would help them understand the difficult word of Shakespeare by allowing actors to incorporate emotions, facial expressions, and volume to the play.

If I could do ANYTHING I wanted via a Virtual field trip, I think I would ask a famous author or playwright to come and speak to the class. I don't have a specific at that point - perhaps J.K Rowling if the students are still interested in the Harry Potter series. This would get them more involved with writing, since it's a dying style of literature in an age where computers enable typing. She could discuss her creative style and answer any questions the students had after reading her books and enjoying them.
