Class Experience

In this  4 week class meeting 2 times a week, we will visit the following cities along Mississippi's coastal area:  40 miles of Beach and the Gulf of Mexico.  Waveland, Bay St. Louis, Pass Christian, Long Beach, Gulfport, Biloxi, D'Iberville, Ocean Springs, Gautier, Moss Point and Pascagoula and the Gulf islands National Seashore Islands:  Petit Bois Island, Horn Island, East Ship Island, West Ship Island and Cat island.  We will discuss some of the history of these cities and islands, as well as historic points.  We will visit campgrounds, restaurants, fun attractions, beaches and so on.  So much to see in such a  little time.  I use Google slides, lots of pictures and videos in this class.  I suggest student take notes as I do play Jeopardy to reinforce what as been covered in class.  
I have lived in Costal Mississippi  3-4 months a year since 2018 and love the area.  It is the best home away from home there is to be found.
