Planning and Recording our adventures
From the very first adventure, we thought about how we would record them. Over 35,000 years ago, people drew pictures of their adventures on the walls of caves. Writing about our adventures helped us to remember what happened and to learn from our experiences. It also meant that we could share it with others. In order to write about our adventures, we created our Adventurer's Handbooks, which we brought with us on every adventure.
At first it was difficult to write a detailed reflection after we finished each adventure, but each adventure led to us writing more and we were excited to see the progress that we had made in both our writing and our adventuring. Blogging about our adventures |

Planning our Adventures
Equipment: At first Ms. Chown planned our adventures for us. However, by the time it got to the third and final adventure of the project, we were ready to start taking over some of the planning. Read Andres's blog post to find out how thoroughly we were thinking about our camping adventure.
In order to make sure that we were prepared for the adventure, Ms. Chown showed us pictures of the places that we were going. Next, we read books on camping to figure out what equipment we needed. Below are the pictures that Ms. Chown showed us along with the camping supplies list that our class created: |
Meals: We worked in groups to plan meals. First we started by interviewing the class to find out about allergies and severe dislikes. We knew we couldn't make everyone's favorite, but we didn't want to make something that someone really didn't like. We also had to think about practicality. For example, the group that was planning lunch on the hike had to plan something that could be carried!
This was our first time working in a group to get things done. There were some challenges but every group managed to plan a delicious, nutritious meal for us. |
