To supplement the plays, poetry, and art that students have been studying, week three ended with some students seeing\u00a0The Merchant of Venice at Shakespeare’s Globe, and others opting\u00a0to check out the London sports scene by seeing\u00a0some polo. After another few days back in the classroom for week four, everyone packed their bags to head to France for a few days. It was a fine line between “school” and “play”; students took in the amazing views, tasty cuisine, and rich culture. Both teams had the chance to appreciate world-renowned art from centuries past, with Team B visiting the Louvre and Team C going to D’Orsay. And both teams took in the dramatic architecture and pristine gardens of Versailles to reinforce classroom readings about the French Revolution. As the final two weeks approach, the curriculum will shift to the Digital Revolution.<\/p>\n
