Chicago
“The Second City”
An IB Perspective
Chicago stands at the beginning of the twenty-first
century as it did on the edge of a new frontier. It has
entered the league of global cities… It stands in an
envious place next to the largest fresh water lakes
in the world and close to the Mississippi River… with
its enormous intellectual and financial resources, it
is trying on a new skin in the new century.
- Dominic Pacyga, Chicago: A Biography

Where
Frank Sinatra sang that Chicago was his kind of town, with his kind of people. This educational tour offers
IB students the opportunity to experience the culture and history that makes it only second to New York in
population, but first in the hearts of many, and the city
that President Obama calls home. Students will be
exposed to areas of knowledge with art and architec-
ture tours, trips to science and history museums, theat-
rical performances, local eateries, and a community
CAS activity. Students will be engaged in a variety of
activities while having fun!
The itinerary and Student-Teacher Resource Guide were developed by Faye Brenner, former IB coordinator for Fairfax County
Schools in Fairfax, VA. She took on the role as advanced academic program specialist and supervised the IB and AP programs
in the district’s 25 high schools. She also serves as an IB site visitor.
Experience Chicago through theater performances,
museum tours, dining experiences and historical
walking tours.
Participate in a community CAS activity that will
accomplish at least four learning outcomes.
Engage in daily discussions to reflect on daily events; a Student-Teacher resource guide is provided.
Produce a final reflection
blog or essay to detail
the experience.
