03.09 - Into the Wild

In today's class we did a reflection activity around academic habits and the preparedness slips that students have been completing when they don't have an assignment. We reviewed the reflection (see handouts below) and discussed how to respond to the various questions on the front of the sheet. Everyone then had time to respond to these questions. 

Following this, I handed out the "not prepared for class" slips that I have collected from people so far and they used in reflection to create a goal for their academic work in the next quarter.

Next, I introduced the text we will be reading as we continue our work with civic action and exploration of the relationship people have to nature. The book we will be reading with this is Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer. I handed out reading schedules and reading log information (see handouts) which we reviewed in class. Everyone also received a copy of the book and signed it out in class. 

We used the last ten minutes of class to begin reading the book with everyone recording the page on which they ended. We will use this to help with pacing and planning logs.
