Learners will engage in a teacher led tour of the Mount Vernon estate. The virtual tour includes many things to explore and students will be part of deciding which elements to look at and discuss. Various images and facts incorporated, to provide learners with a cumulative and over-arching knowledge of the personal estate of the 1st President of the United States of America. Before learners take this class, it is advised that they have some prior knowledge of George Washington being a significant figure in American history. I'm the type of teacher that encourages interaction from participants and will gladly accept questions and/or comments!
