Weekend HW #2 - Central Oregon Overnight Creative Reflection
...This is less important than the essential questions... Students who were at school today had over an hour to work on this. If you were not at school today and feel overwhelmed by the essential questions then you can turn this in on Tuesday (though you should at the very least get started on this).
...Below is the assignment rubric/expectations
Central Oregon Overnight Creative
Reflection
Welcome back to the world of
being in a classroom! Before we get too caught up in everything that we do in
here we are going to take some time to reflect on our Central Oregon
experience. This is not an intense assignment and is instead something for you
to do to capture what your time in Central Oregon was like.
On a blank white sheet of
paper (you can choose whatever size works best for you) you are going to create
a writing/drawing piece that reflects upon your fall overnight experience.
I would like to see the following represented in your
assignment:
- A map (it does not have
to be to scale) of where we were during our trip (look at the map in your
e-core for guidance!)
- At least 1 word and 1 image
for the following sites/lessons
- LaPine State Park – camping with your class, campfire with the
middle school
- Big Obsidian Flow – hike, cooperative lava game
- Lava Lands – hike, visitor center
- Boyd Cave Lava Tube – lava tube exploring, panorama photo
creating
- At least 1 word and 1 image
for the following:
- The highlight of your trip (mark with a Jsmiley face J)
- The biggest challenge you faced on this trip that you are most
proud of overcoming (mark with an !exclamation point!)
- The most important part of this experience for you (mark with a
*star*)
- The entire page should be filled
- There should be color
How you complete the above
requirements is up to you. So long as those are on your reflection, this can
look like whatever you want. You can add anything else to this reflection you
want.
Use your creativity and
memories of Central Oregon to create this piece.
What isn’t finished in class
today becomes homework. Use your class time wisely!
Weekend HW #3 - READ YOUR CHOICE FICTION NOVEL
...Normally your reading assignments are due on Monday. NOT THIS WEEK! I will give you your week 3 reading assignment on Monday in school. It will be due Tuesday morning.
