Today's class focused on the history of tourism around the globe.  It is very interesting to learn about how roads, inns, restaurants, etc., started out early on in our recorded history.  The book contains a lot of dates regarding this history and talks about the contributions or movements in various parts of the world.  Below is the list of the top innovations and events that led us to where modern tourism is today. 

The students generated the list from the many listed in the book and then we voted to get down to the top six.  These six were then used by students (in groups of two) to design a museum space about each of these areas.  Good discussion was had along with great ideas about how to make the museum space interesting for people of all ages to enjoy learning more about the history of tourism.
