Meet Me in the Middle: Chapter 13

Chapter 13: This chapter mainly focuses on the importance of outdoor adventures with a class. In the book, a camping trip is the main activity. There are tree major things that people learn baout themsleves when on a camping trip; physical, emotional and intellectual selves, gender equity and personal anatomy. All of these are important. Another thing that the book mentioned was that boys tend to become more nuturing when on camping trips. There are many ways to incorporate outdoor activities into a lesson in all subject areas. I plan to take my kids outside as much as possible as I believe that this is a good way to bring what we are learning to the real world.
