Class 4A will soon be leaving for this year's trip to Salzburg, Austria. We will depart the campus at 6 a.m. on January 18th to catch the 9 a.m. flight. Our return flight leaves at 8 a.m. on January 21st, and we will expect to arrive back at the campus by bus around 4 p. m.. For the entirety of the trip's duration, we will be staying all three nights at Hotel Salzburg. In addition to your personal belongings, you will be required to pack your passport and travel insurance certificate. Furthermore, remember to pack the appropriate winter necessities, especially if you plan to ski during your free time in the afternoons. Our scheduled morning events are detailed as follows. As Austria is a country of great importance in European history, learning more about its unique culture will be the foundation of your trip. Thus, your pre-trip assignment has been to investigate the last 60 years of Austrian history. To bring this unit to its conclusion, we've arranged a meeting in the hotel's conference room with several local retirement associations. Also taking place on hotel grounds are various workshops that we've arranged, hosting three local speakers. Please be sure to attend at least one of these. Upon return, use the information you obtained from the interviews and workshop(s) to write a 500-word reflection on a subject of your choice, worth 60% of your final grade. Of special focus should be the social and cultural impacts of World War II, with a secondary focus on how the modern Austrian government treats its senior citizens. Your report is due by 5 p.m. on January 25th.
