While I KNOW that you should see this place that we are doing, I have chosen to do this place more for its repetitive nature (everything is a canyon) and for its spellings that are in Navajo and Hebrew.
Really!! Yep - it's meant to confuse you!! It's important that I do this in practice - it will keep you from getting mixed up in reality.
To do the outline, we will watch a video of the national parks of the Colorado Plateau.
IN CLASS STUDENTS WILL BE GRADED ON THEIR NOTES.
ONLINE STUDENTS WILL BE REFERRED TO THE WEBSITES INCLUDED BELOW AND OTHERS.
IN CLASS STUDENTS WILL NOT SUBMIT THEIR PAPER 1 OUTLINES
ONLINE STUDENTS WILL SUBMIT (on why education is emotionally valuable to you) FOR A GRADE BASED ON CORRECT COMPLETION OF AN OUTLINE. You will do this through Roman numerals, capital letters, and regular letters.THIS TO THE WEEK 4 DROPBOX. SEE SAMPLE OUTLINES AND YOUR TEXT BOOKS.
When in doubt - ask the old man what you need to do. Don't just do anything and hope you've done it right. This creates mistakes or extra work.
For outlines... The thesis is the Roman numberal (I).
Each place (1 national park, 1 national monument, and 1 other place) is a capital letter (since it is the forecast). These have sufficient subdivisions (at least 3 regular numbers that are listed in order of importance) under it with at least 2 descriptive details (lower case letters).
The student whose essay you are reviewing for the quiz part of this (both in and out of class) should have places arranged like this (according to the sample outline set up paper):
I. Other Places
A. Ricketts Glen State Park
1. Waterfalls
a. Harrison Wright
b. B. Reynolds
c. Ganoga
2. Trails
a. Waterfall Trail
b. Bulldozer Trail
c. Hemlock trail
3. Other pursuits
a. Fishing on Lake Jean
b. Snowmobiling
c. Picnics
d. Camping
While I can't show tabbing here, these must be tabbed appropriately (each different type of division - capital letters, lower case letters, and regular numbers) are tabbed over 1 additional tab from where the last level went to.
I have a lot of additional video of these places here. By virtue of being alive and in college in 2011, you know how to search these places out on youtube and google. You can find other video for all kinds of places. I recommend seeing as many of these places as you can.
I also have pictures of these places here.
A good website with lots of info on the Colorado Plateau is here.
If I could take great pictures instead of just really good ones, I would be hosting this website.
Both video and pictures include Zion National Park, Canyonlands National Park, Grand Canyon National Park, Arches National Park, Mesa Verde National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, Capitol Reef National Park, Waterholes Canyon, the Wave, Antelope Canyon, Ute Mountain Tribal Park, In the Desert Solitaire (a reference to Edward Abbey's incredible book entitled Desert Solitaire), Clear Creek Canyon, and Paria Canyon. Not all of these are on the video, but not all of these are meant for casual hikers.
THIS ASSIGNMENT OF CORRECTING AN OUTLINE (25 MISTAKES) IS TO BE DONE BY 9/19 AT 6AM.
THIS IS NOT TIMED. I ADVISE YOU TO HAVE YOUR NOTES AND GOOGLE OPEN DURING THE TEST.
My journeys to the Wave and my finally making it into this geographic wonder are the most influential journeys I have been on since graduating from RACC and Alvernia College to become a teacher. From not getting to this destination on 3 different occasions, the 4th time became a defining moment in my life.
Here, it is.
My 3 videos of my trip to the Wave (story to follow).
