Wethersfield Studies is a half-year English class where students learn about the history of their town.  This class, taught by Ms. Krawczyk, discusses the town’s geological formation, Native American history, Puritans, witch hunts, and more.

Ms. Krawczyk highlights that the course focuses on the students’ impact on the town, not just the past history.  She outlines in her course information that, “Your past and current experiences in this town are contributing to the future history of Wethersfield”.

A class like this allows students to see further into the history of the town they’re a part of.  Aside from learning about the town, the students complete projects and activities related to its history.  Students also make posters about their own history in the town so that Ms. Krawczyk and their classmates can learn more about each other.

Throughout the semester students perform one-act plays, write a letter to the editor regarding an article in Wethersfield Life, and look at past yearbooks to see how much the school has changed.  

Another thing students do to expand their knowledge about the towns past is attend either a Board of Education meeting or a Town Council meeting.  In these activities, students will, “Compare and contrast what we learn about Wethersfield’s past, with our towns current issues of interest and concern.”

In asking more about the class, I learned that one of the most interesting things for Ms. Krawczyk is learning about her students and she enjoys them learning about how much the town has changed over the years.

This class poses a unique opportunity for the students to learn more about the town they live in.  It’s available for seniors to take every semester.
