Texas Teacher Takes Her Students On A Road Trip Through U.S. History — Remotely - NPR
Coming back to school this fall has presented new challenges for students, their families and educators. But for Cathy Cluck, it has presented an opportunity.
Cluck teaches AP U.S. history at Westlake High School in Austin, Texas. And as she was preparing her lessons for this very nontraditional year, she asked herself, "What can I do now that I wouldn't be able to do in a normal year?" Cluck tells NPR that she "just kind of had this idea: that I teach American history and what if I went to the places where American history happened?"
So she did. Cluck took a 15-day road trip (dubbed the #greatamericanhistoryroadtrip,) to visit some of the places she teaches her students about each year.
