1. Peer editing activity: Have your essay showing on the computer screen or have a paper copy ready. There is a bright yellow peer editing sheet! (Random selection of editors)
2. The final copy of the technology essay is due on Wednesday. Post in CANVAS. (100 points)
Reminder: This is our last week of class. The final exam is Friday. You MUST be present in order to pass this course. (EMCC Policy)
Now, on to the final essay! Remember that nature walk that we did not have time to take on Friday? Today is just as glorious, so we will be walking, looking, listening, and capturing the messages from Mother Nature.
Listen to the instructions. Go outside for 12 minutes. Look, listen, click or sketch, and capture the message. What is Mother Nature trying to say to us? What do we need to understand?
Nature: What is
Mother Nature Telling Us?
With a partner, walk
around the campus for 10 minutes and take 10 pictures that create a message.
