This term we completed 3 late summer adventure cycles. The case study was titled “A Hero’s Journey of Food Preservation” and the guiding question was “what can I eat out here and how do I know?” The activities were designed to emphasize creating a community, cooperation, communication and conflict resolution. Students are learning about this through the mantra “Information; Evaluate; Decide” and the 6th-8th grade adventure norms “Be Here”, “Be Safe”, “Be Honest”, “Set Goals” and “Let Go and Move On”. Our outdoor classroom is the Eco-Garden and the Jordan River Nature Study Area near the Day Riverside Library. We acted like Voyagers by learning to prepare for the winter by preserving food in traditional ways like dehydrating. We learned about native plant identification, identified various edibles made “Sumac-Aid” and collected fall harvest from the nature study area and the eco-garden.
