Reflect

Reflections on Connections Think about how you have build your connection and relationship to water in the past few days, weeks or months. Pick a means(writing, art, multimedia, etc.) to help you explain the connection you now have to water. Has your connection to water helped you gain a stronger understanding or connection to yourself and/or others? Explain.

Who is Water? After we build a strong connection to water, we may come to see it in a different light. Instead of asking: "What is water?", what if we pondered the question, "Who is water?" Have a discussion with your students. If you're at home discuss with a family member: "Who is water?" Watch the TED Talk frm Dr. Kelsey Leonard. What did you learn?

Water Reflections While visiting water look for reflections in it. What do see see? Just take a few moments to observe. Do the reflections stay the same or change. If you wish capture a reflection with a photo, sketch or painting.

Reflecting on Water When you visit water, be sure to find time to spend some time alone, by yourself, with the water. As you begin to reflect about who water is understand that this is an evolving process. Your understanding and love of the water will grow and change over time. Use a means of your choice (writing, art, multimedia, etc) to capture who water is to you at this point in your life.

The Many Moods of the Water Do you notice that water has many different "moods". Can you describe some moods of the water you've witness during your visits with the water? Try to capture as many moods as you can (using sketches or photos) while you visit. Can you relate to some of the moods that the water expresses?

Where have you been? Where are you going? Think about it. Water has been moving and traveling forever. When you visit the water ask it: "Where have you been?" Where are you going?". Listen to the water. Do you hear any answers? What is it telling you? Where have you been? Where are you going? How will you get there?

Water Feelings Can water feel emotions? When you visit your water source, how do you think the water is feeling? If it could give you a few words of wisdom, what would it say to you? Write those words down and share them.

Water Rocks! Check out all of the water rocks! Water has helped to shape them. They are all different and unique. No two are the same. What do you notice? What do you wonder? What do you feel? What other things along the shoreline can you find? How have those things been shaped by the water? How have you been shaped by water?

Keep a Water Journal Keep a journal of all your time at the water. Write down what you saw. What particular sounds did you hear? How did you feel on your visit to the water? How was the water feeling? What did you learn? What questions do you have. Include a sketch or two.
