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
o
LaPine State Park – camping with your class,
campfire with the middle school
o
Big Obsidian Flow – hike, cooperative lava game
o
Lava Lands – hike, visitor center
o
Boyd Cave Lava Tube – lava tube exploring,
panorama photo creating
· At least 1 word
and 1 image for the following:
o
The highlight of your trip (mark with a Jsmiley
face J)
o
The biggest challenge you faced on this trip
that you are most proud of overcoming (mark with an !exclamation point!)
o
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!
