Class Experience

US Grade 2 - 4
This class we will go through the history of lighthouses: from how and why they were built, to the amazing lighthouse keepers who took care of them, and to why they aren't used anymore. I'll be using a powerpoint that has pictures (some historical and some I took from a lighthouse I visited) and we'll discuss what it would be like to have worked in a lighthouse (including a daily routine). I'll share about my own experience visiting a lighthouse and students are also allowed to share about any lighthouses they have visited.

Learning Goals

By the end of the class, students will have a good grasp on what lighthouses are, why they were built, how they were built, and about the people who worked in them.

Other Details

Supply List
If students have a Lighthouse Passport book, they should bring it for show and tell.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Sources
Some of the historical pictures are from the book: Lightships and Lighthouses by Frederick A. Talbot, published in 1913.

I have read several books about lighthouses and am fascinated with them and the lighthouse keepers who lived in them. I have visited one and had a wonderful tour of it.
