The Museum Questions series on field trips includes interviews and guest posts from school teachers, museum educators, scholars, and others. However, until now we have been missing the voices of students.
The Moth podcast for November 25th included a short (five minute) story from a high school student, Truly Johnson, about making a friend during a trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Moth is a not-for-profit dedicated to the art of storytelling, and The Moth Radio Hour is a weekly program featuring some of these stories. You can listen to Truly Johnson’s story here on The Moth website, or below.
