On Thursday, our class traveled to Merdeka Square (or Independence Square) to learn about how KL became the city that it is today. Our Social Studies unit is entitled, "KL: Yesterday and Today" and this trip fits perfectly into our learning.
With the help of two fantastic tour guides, we were guided through the KL City Gallery and watched an entertaining 3 minute video with light show on a scale model of our city. We learned about the new tall building that will be built soon as well!
Then we were taken to the textile museum, theater, church, river bank, and many other historic spots. We were given lots of knowledge and stories about how tin mining and the joining of the Gombak and Klang River significantly impacted the tin industry which in turn encouraged development in this area.
One of our essential questions for this unit is: "How does a community's location and resources determine growth?" - I think that the students are well equipped to answer this question based on what they learned on the field trip.
Here is the album of photos that I have so far:
