Divide the class into groups, as described in the instructions. The next day, take students outside for the class period. Each group will write entries for a journal and draw pictures of items described in the journal, modeling their work after Lewis' observations. Allow time for the activity. When groups have sketched and described at least three items, return to class and share the products.
Homework is to complete the journal entries and pictures for display.
This excellent series is available for borrowers through the Learning Resources Center at Keene State College. There is a teacher's guide which includes documents for interpretation. If a camera is available for the field trip, students may take pictures of the items which they included in their journals and sketches. This exercise is highly motivating. Students might also be asked to map the territory which they explore.
