Visiting sites

• It is helpful for students to know what sites they will be visiting and your expectations of how they will comport themselves at these sites.

• Some sites may require preparation on the part of the visitors. For example, mass burial sites or concentration camps may bring strong emotions. Talk with the students about how they will deal with these feelings at the sites. You may want to have activities after the site visit that will help them process these thoughts and emotions.

• Students need to know what the clothing requirements are for different sites and what will happen if they do not have the correct clothing.
