Place-Based Class Lesson (Student Work)

The hunting lodge makes me think of a book called Hattie Big Sky. Which is about  girl living on a homestead. The shack she has for living space is about as big and as clean as the hunting lodge we visited today.

The trees and ferns make me think of a rain forest or another, like when the dinosaurs lived. Even though I lived here forever, we think of Hawaii as a place of sand and palm trees, not so much a a rain forest, with birds and moss.

Everywhere I look I see wisdom

Wisdom in the trees that have been here for years

They have seen and experienced much more than we could imagine

The cherp of the crickets and melodies of the birds

You feel safe, surrounded by peace and sunlight

There's nothing like the damp ground

Mud making sounds beneath your feet

It reminds you of when you were little

Playing in the rain, the cold air on your face

Getting mud all over yourself without a worry in the world

The amount of joy is unfathomable

Within this calm, soothing escape lays a small cabin

Withholding dozens of secrets and memories, deep beneath the cabin's floor

There's just something about it

Thoughts in your head making you wonder who? Why? And When?

 Kaloko Trip

This environment is very unique in many ways. It reminds me of the past my childhood mostly. The forest reminds of my childhood because it was as simple as a box of crayons. In many ways the forest is like a box of crayons. It reminds me of one of those giant packs of crayons, that everyone wanted. The forest has amazing beauty just like a box of crayons can create. The forest also had a lot sounds like the rustle of leaves, the call of birds. Its something you don't find everyday life, but if you live in Hawaii its something you do find everyday.

Pahala Podcast/Video

This is my first shot at a podcast/video, I used iMovie. I enjoyed learning the program and process. The quality is rough but with time it should improve.
