2. Turkey

3. O Military museum:
Istanbul in Istanbul I plan to go and see the
While
military museum which contains one
thousand years of Turkish military history
as well as one of the leading museums of
it’s kind. It was also once the site of an
Ottoman military academy. During our unit
of the medieval times we studied
Constantinople which is
now Istanbul, which is where this museum is
located.

4. Gallipoli
O Gallipoli war museum
O During my visit to the
Gallipoli war museum I will see lots of relics of
the campaign like: weapons, uniforms,
ammunition, letters written from soldiers to their
families, photographs, and private belongings.
Gallipoli was the cite of the battle of Gallipoli
which we studied during the World War I unit.
The war museum will have many things about
the battle of Gallipoli on exhibit for me to see.

5. Italy

6. Rome
O National Museum of Rome
O Inside this museum I will find some of the
world’s most important archeological
collections. It has four floors of sculptures,
frescos, mosaics, coins, and jewels.
During our study of the medieval times,
we studied the Holy Roman Empire. Many
remnants will remain from such times in
this ageless museum.

7. The
Coliseum
I will be traveling to the coliseum in Rome.
Originally known as the Flavian Amphitheater, the coliseum
was completed in 80 AD. The Coliseum was a place
designed to entertain the public with games. The coliseum
was extremely large: 188 meters by 156 meters and could
hold up to 55,000 people with only 88 entrances. It is located
in Rome and holds historical importance about the
entertainment during the time from 80 AD to 847 AD when it
was broken during an earthquake. The coliseum was used to
host games, but it also helped to increase the popularity of
emperor. wish me luck!

8. England

9. Greater London
O The Globe theater:
The globe theater was founded
by an American actor and
director by the name of Sam
Wanamaker. This is a unique place which is dedicated to
the exploration of Sir William Shakespeare's work. A
theater dedicated to the performance of the many plays
he wrote. This place is a rebuilt form of the former Globe
theater built only a few hundred feet from it's original
standing place. The Globe theater holds many historical
treasures and plays from Shakespeare. The globe theater
was studied during our play unit in language arts and was
the main cite where Shakespeare's plays were performed.

10. London
O TARDIS set tours:
The Tardis set tour is a tour that
allows Doctor who convention

the behind-the-scenes team are going to be on hand
to show and explain the inner workings of the Tardis

workings of the show “Doctor Who”. I can't wait!!

12. Amsterdam
O The Anne Frank museum:
This museum is dedicated to the
Jewish wartime diarist Anne Frank; a
Young girl who girl who hid from the
Nazi for a total of 2 years in a secret annex.
In the museum I am going to see the secret
room where Anne Frank spent 2 years of
her life waiting out the war. I will be able to
see her "favorite quotes notebook" and her "tales book.“
This
place is a historical representation of World War II and the
pain that it caused people like Anne Frank, one of the
most famous World War II stories.
