Mt Tabor Trip

tuesday september 9 2008

We went to mt tabor for a volcano rock observatory. We hiked up mt tabor to a little section with a whole bunch of rocks. We all picked a rock and drew it and wrote about it and wrote what we think its story was. After that we went up a little higher and drew the city from a view. Then we took a marker and drew a circle on our knuckle, we kept drawing circles around and around each circle, what that represented was Topography. After that we hiked all the way to the top of mount tabor and we made a poem out of a poem by Mary Oliver. We scrambled the words together and it made a whole different poem. Later frank read to us what the original was. each group had a different poem to do. After that we went on a trail leading us back down. we stopped at a little field type of thing and we chose another rock and drew that one to see the differences. some of the differences were the rock was heavy, no holes, and more solid. after we drew that and wrote about its story we played a game called eagle eye. After that we walked all the way back to sunnyside. It was a really fun field trip.
