Today we discussed our field trip that we took last time (D10), We finalized our PBL Groups today, and we also finished planning out the sites we'll be highlighting. I worked with students to continue to finish up your sites. I also introduced you to several different sources to get ideas. Here are some examples of different self-guided tours:
I've also included an example of a short podcast that I created! Check out the website I used to make it: www.spreaker.com

Groups were finalized today, and students were reminded about completing Part IIB Independent Site Survey Notes HW (45 pts) (this will be graded individually, though groups can go together). Students as groups worked on creating a plan for covering all 3 of the required site types for their guided tour.
P.S. Here is an example of a self-guided tour, a Google My Map: Today we continued to talk about our Hometown Hero PBL Project. We talked about our Fieldtrip that is coming up, and what will be expected, as well as the Independent Fieldwork associated with that fieldtrip. You were given a copy of those assignments, and then encouraged to begin researching into potential sites that you could do for your tour.

They were given Part V/ Final: Guided Tour Assignment (100 pts). They were encouraged to begin deciding which local community they want to research (somewhere close by, that they can easily get to) and create a tour for, and encouraged to work close to home. They were given the Part I: Journal Entry Assignment (60 pts total), and reminded that they should submit a journal entry for at least 8 of the 12 days that we work on this project.

About the Class:Utah's landscape is a beautiful as its history. This course is designed to help students understand the great state of Utah at a deeper level by reviewing the state’s early history, founding, and geography.
Starting with the earliest known natives, we’ll travel thru time to today's booming business economy. We will examine the relationship between people and their environment and the effect of geography on people and settlement. Archives
