Chester County Courthouse Field Trip/Guest Speaker

Our class will be heading to the Chester County Courthouse on West Market Street. Here, the students will be able to learn more about what goes on inside the courthouse. Students will get the chance to see the various rooms inside the courthouse. Additionally, students will be able to talk to local elected officials. They will be able to ask them various questions on topics we discussed in class. The guest speaker will also be able to tell the students more about their election process and what they do now for the government. 

The Chester County Courthouse is an exceptional location to take the students for a field trip. Additionally, students will be able to see in real life where everything we have talked about takes place and to talk to someone who is in a role that we discussed. 

The guest speaker will be the mayor of West Chester, Lillian L. DeBaptiste. The students will be able to fill out the following document. It will have students prepare a question that they will have ready to ask. The students will then reflect on the questions and the answer from which they received.
