Shaffer's classes take to the woods
Many students in Mrs. Shaffer's AP Language and Composition class enjoyed the nature walk they took on October 11. This brief time in nature was an introduction to their Nature Unit. Students were asked to commune with the nature around the school and take a picture of anything that spoke to them. They were then asked to reflect on their own perspective on nature. They will revisit the pictures again at the end of the unit to see if their perspective or feelings about nature have changed. The photos are featured outside of room 200. Enjoy the beauty Mrs. Shaffer's classes shared in the videos below...
