Reflections: Week 15 and 16


And alas, here is our last reflection, and to think we thought it would never end....

Week 15

This week started off with everyone doing their final advocacy project post! We had to come up with a project that went along with our issue, that would encourage people to vote for the bills to pass! Some people came up with really great ideas! Also, during week 15, on Tuesday Sue Whitney author of JunkMarket came and talked to us! She was an amazing lady, with an amazingly creative mind. We each got a copy of her book Junk Beautiful Outdoor Edition, which was so grateful of her! I've already looked at mine at least a dozen times (And the fact that there's like 9 flamingos in there, just makes me give her even more thumbs up!)

On Thursday we got to go outside and just enjoy the environment for our last day of class... after my let's show this school that we're smoke free extravaganza... embarrassing! It was so much fun to just sit with the class and hear what everyone had taken away from the class! Great!


Week 16

The only thing we really had to finish up for this week, was doing our group members online learning activities, and posting about our results and thoughts about them. I learned so much from doing these activities, and it was really great to be able to think about them!


I have learned so much in this class, and it really is weird to think about the fact that we won't be getting together for two hours each week to talk about the environment. This class needed every single person in it, and I am very glad that I got to know so many of you so very well. Have an amazing summer everyone!!!
