Despite sporting 2 black eyes and a goose egg from my trip up Big Mountain , I have to say this was one of the best educational experiences I have ever had. You all made this trip so much fun. It was great to have Gene as our tour guide sharing with us all his knowledge as we traveled the trail. I enjoyed sharing ideas and interacting with all of you. Tim you are assume, your strategies will enhance my teaching. Val thanks for all you did to make this trip extraordinary.
I don't want to complain or anything but you all have created a load of work for me. With all of the lesson plans and strategies, I will need to revamp my whole Social Studies units. I expected this to be a great experience (which it was) but not create so much work. (joke) I am really looking forward to using alot of the ideas shared to make my lesson much more interesting for my students. There are quite a few strategies I want to use, but after complaning about there being no feelings in the journels I would like to use the happiness scale. I feel this strategy will open up a discussion when using source materials that will help the students realize the feelings and not just the events. Like most of you I really felt the pain and work the pioneers went through to give us this beautiful state. I thought of the accidents that the pioneers experienced each day. How many fell and hit their heads? Luckily I had my cooling scarf to immediately put on my head. What could the pioneers do? They had water but how cool was your water bottle half way up the mountain? These were just a few of the questions that came to mind after I tripped. I had been thinking about the big problems that faced the pioneers. I thought about the everyday happenings that they went through.
I hope we can keep blogging, I'd like to stay in touch with everyone. Thanks for all you have shared.
Tim, what is Mrs. Miller's address so I can send a letter. Also is this all we were required to do? Please email me and let me know if I am still missing anything. Thanks
