Sunday's Enlightening (and Exercising) Excursion!
My students and I crisscrossed the peninsula on Sunday, Nov. 19 to visit two of Charleston's oldest church graveyards located at Second Presbyterian Church on Meeting Street and Unitarian Church on Archdale.
As a bonus, we got to see the inside of the Unitarian Church as it was open for tours. Read more about the successful outing here on my BirdsEyeViews blog.
Here are approaches I have shared with the students about conducting research on "Old Charlestonians" interred at graveyards like the ones we visited on this day.

"Old Charlestonian" Research Project Guidelines
Due
April 2: Write and turn
in a typed proposal on the Charlestonian you will research and write
about for your blog and class blog: who is this person, why this person, when
did he/she live and where is he/she buried (needs to be in a Charleston
graveyard or cemetery).
In this proposal you do not have to answer all of these questions yet, but in your research try to find out when did he/she live and die (and how). Include other details you know so far about life, occupation, family, achievements (and failures), legacy and any other interesting facts and tidbits. Describe the gravesite. What is unique, interesting or magnificent or artistic about it? Also, include research sources you have and will use to write a detailed article. Style and length should be similar to the stories I have in “In the Arms of Angels.”
