1) I did know a lot about JFK before the field trip due to class but I did not know much about the Cuban Missle Crisis, JFK's family, and how JFK's wife had a lot to influence the world also. The Cuban Misle Crisis video was very interesting. I learned a lot more and understood a lot better. Also the pictures in the room that we watched the movie in helped me get a better image of where the missles were. Also, in the museum they had a lot of pictures of his family and what they liked to do. I didn't know JFK liked to sail a lot. Also, i did not know how involved Jackie Kennedy was. In the museum, they had a whole section on her and what she did to influence the country. It was very interesting.
2) I felt the museum was the most interesting because we we able to look around the whole place and read what interested us the most. Also, they had many pictures and different events in Kennedy's life that were covered in the museum.
3) To improve the field trip, I beleive they should have more facts and information about his death. I beleive that JFK's death was one of the most interesting things that happened in history and to not have a lot of information on that in the museum is a big dissapointment. I was hoping to find out more about his death. But i truely beleive there is nothing more people can find. It's sad though because we all wish we could know this mystery but as time goes on it becomes impossible.
4) Although i have never met JFK or was not alive while he was president, i truely do beleive he did do enough to be considered one of the best presidents of all time. Throught what i have learned from school and visiting the museum, he had a lot of plans and ideas that changed our country for the better. Being young brought new ideas to his presidency. Although he was not alive he had great plans for the civil rights movement. Johnson had much success with Kennedy's ideas. He also helped a lot with the economy and the poor. The big event where Kennedy took control was with the Cuba Missle Crisis. He also did a good job wiht the Cold war and kept it under control. Throughout his presidency, America was happy. Also America felt safe. With as lot of other presidents you can't really say that we have felt safe. Kennedy was one of those speical people who helped us become successful!
