- My favorite part of the trip to Boston was the stop at Faneuil Hall. This was my favorite part because of the amount of freedom we received and how fun it was wandering around looking in stores and eating at nice little restaurants.

My favorite part to the trip in Boston was seeing the place where they run the state of MA. I also liked faneuil hall because we got to walk around and eat until a deadline which i liked because we did not have to follow or listen to anyone.

3. My favorite part of the trip was when our group got to roam. This was my favorite part because we went with no adult present. We ended up going to the north end and back. We ended up going to a little mart to pick up monster. The best part was when i spit it out and the wind blew it back into Duncan and my faces. Aha it was funny

- My favorite part of the trip to Boston was going to the Josheph Moakley Court House. I thought it was a good experience watching a real court trial and verdict. It was good that I could experience what a real court case was like, with a real jury, judge, lawyers, defendants, prosecuters..etc.

My favorite part of the trip was the federal courthouse because it was a really cool building and I thought the verdict of the criminal case was intense. “Stay strong Ma” “I will” “I didn’t do it” “I know you didn’t”.

My favorite part of the Boston trip was when we went on the Duck Tour. This was my favorite part because I really got to see the different parts of Boston that you usually dont. Also I got to hear the history of all the buildings and learned that buildings that looked like ordinary buildings were actually an important building in Boston's history. It was also fun because I got to see Boston from land and the pond so I got to see different angles of Boston.

My favorite part was when we went on the Duck Tour. This was my favorite part because we were on a boat that was used in WW2 and we could drive on land with it. We got to see a lot of sites while we were on land and on the water. Our tour guide was very funny and good because he knew a lot about the things we saw and he also had a sense of humour. Also I thought it was just cool to be on the water in a car.

My favorite part about the boston trip was the trip to Faneuil Hall. That was a lot of fun. It was my favorite part because I got to walk around with my friends without adult supervision. It was also fun to get whatever food you wanted from any of the multi-ethnic mini-restaurants and shops.
It was a great example for american diversity.

My favorite part to the Boston trip was the stop at NAthaniel Hall. I really enjoyed this because The teachers gave us so much freedom. With this it was fun to see fun little stores with souvineirs and finding cool restraunts.

my favorite part of our trip to Boston was visiting the Joseph Moakley courthouse. this was my favorite part because we got to see how the judicial system really worked. it was also cool because we did a trial in social studies, so it was interesting to see how our trial and a real trial differed, and also how they were the same. another highlight from the courthouse was talking to the judge, because he explained what was going on "behind-the-scenes" and he answered any questions we had, which was really nice, and also helped me to understand the process a lot more.
