Central Oregon Campout HOMEWORK


HOMEWORK: - Central Oregon Campout
1. Reflection - please fully complete your reflection (check off requirements!) and be ready to share it on Monday. Assignment is attached for those who were absent and those who forgot it at school!
2. Ecore - Please answer questions 1 & 2 - use your notes/worksheets/experiences to write at least a 1/2 page for each answer. You should write specific examples that support your ideas. We will use these answers to prompt your first expository writing on Monday.


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!
