The Return of the Counselors

Today we began the day with a few thoughts on grades, credits, summer school, and honors programs from our esteemed counselors.

We then continued our examination of Thoreau and Emerson, followed by a short clip about the Redwoods from the Planet Earth series.

HW Write a one page journal entry about the video. Take the perspective of an observer (as Thoreau and Emerson did) and write DESCRIPTIVELY about some part of the video. What would you see if you were hanging from the rope in or between the trees? How would you describe the scene with the baby owls? If you weren't here, go outside (or look out a window), observing some aspect of nature for five to ten minutes, and do the assignment above.
