Summary C4T #2

I commented on Eric Langhorst's podcast for my C4T #2. Mr. Langhorst is an 8th grade History Teacher in Missouri. I learned something very interesting from Mr. Langhorst's podcast. He talked about one of George Washington's biggest decision that isn't really talked about. Washington made the decision to stop growing tobacco and started growing wheat. Mr. Langhorst spent a week in Mount Vernon as a participant in the 2010 Gilder Lehrman Summer Seminar learning about Washington's decision. Along with the podcast are Langhorst's lesson plans, a student graphic organizer, and a short video. I also listened to Mr. Langhorst's podcast describing Mount Vernon. He talks about how beautiful the sunset is and he adds pictures to prove it. Mr. Langhorst makes a great point about how Mount Vernon has been preserved. He points out that these days you cannot go anywhere without being surrounded by tall buildings and condos. I really liked listening to Mr. Langhorst's podcasts. They were interesting and had lots of information in them.
