Jason Crole studies in an American high school. As a native of London, the 16-year-old didn't know much
about America's colonial (殖民地的) past before this summer.
But now Crole can talk a lot about the settlers (移民者), slavery (奴隶制) and the events that led up to the
American Revolution (美国独立战争). He learned about these subjects at a summer program at the College of
William and Mary, Virginia.
It is a 70-year-old program that gathers high school students from across the US to study early American
history.
"It's been great and a lot of hard work," said Crole. "This is not a subject really taught in England, so I'm
learning a lot of new things."
The program meet from 8 am to 3 pm five days a week. It goes for three weeks. Students go to lectures
and read essays about the time period they are studying. They study history from the founding of Jamestown
through the American Revolution and the Civil War (美国内战).
As well as leaming about history in the classroom, students also take field trips to historical sites. They visit
Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown and other sites around Virginia. They learn what life was like during that
time.
"We hope the students can really leam something about our early history," said Carolyn Sparks Whittenburg,
director of the program. " We offer the program to kids who love history. A total of 111 students were in the
program this summer, but we hope for more next year."
