David said he doesn’t want to be thanked for his tour, but instead thanked you. However, it is always nice to thank the people that allowed this to happen. So choose one to do: 1. Write a letter to the head of the history department, Mr. Chisolm, for funding this trip. - Address what you learned…how this benefits you… 2. Write David a letter explaining how you are spreading his stories (if you are) and what issues you are now thinking of addressing this year.

What will you do next time to ensure you will not miss the trip? • Why do you think I wanted all of you to attend this trip?
