The most interesting things that I learned during the Downtown Tour were the fascinating facts that I uncovered while preparing for the tour. I learned about how busy and fast-paced Roanoke was in the past. It was very interesting comparing life in Roanoke today to life in Roanoke in the late 19th and early 20th century. I also enjoyed learning about the different businesses that were located downtown and the families that owned them.
Being a tour leader was a very enjoyable experience, and I am so glad I had the opportunity to teach this great group of sixth graders! I loved seeing their reactions to some of the information, and they were very engaged with the scavenger hunt we assigned them.
I hope that these students were as fascinated by this experience as I was. The history of our town isn't necessarily something you can find in a textbook or even on the internet, and I believe that it is very important to learn and pass down our community's past to the generations of the future. If these students learn as much as they can about our history, then they can use that information to improve our community in the future.
