On Friday (3/22) WHS German 8 students expanded their study of history beyond the classroom through a virtual connection with the German Historical Museum in Berlin. A German-speaking docent led them through political developments and figures in Europe between 1648 and 1790. Using artifacts from a previous exhibit at the museum, he explained the leaders, events and thinking of the period. Students enjoyed the live connection, being able to use their German, and viewing the historical artwork and objects.
