Reflection activities on service-learning related to environmental restoration.

Using Reflection Activities in the Field to Deepen Student Learning part of Curriculum for the Bioregion:Activities
This activity offers one of the reflection activities we developed in our learning community "Exploring Natural History in Word and Field." In this class, the students learn about natural history by reading natural history essays and participating in field trips. In this activity, we use reflection before and during a field trip to an Old Growth Forest to help our students clarify their own stance for a Position Paper on whether and under what conditions logging should be allowed in Old Growth Forests.

Reading & Writing Poetry as Contemplative Practice part of Curriculum for the Bioregion:Activities
