Assignment 6 Nature notes in your neighbourhood.

Dear biology 11 class, for your next assignment, you will do the following

For 20 marks, please update your blog.  Have each blog author write a post.

REFLECTION WITH ALL YOUR SENSES
1.  Write a one page reflection on observing nature with all your senses,  during Covid 19 Pandemic.  Go outside and find nature.  Find a place with plants. Find a place which seems like a good place to be.  I would like you to experience and observe this place as an organism with sense organs.

  Draw in colour  or photograph this place.   Write about the following:
1.  Where is your place.  What time is your observation and what are the weather conditions?
2. . Why did you choose this place? What are the qualities of this place?
3..  What do your sensory perceptions tell you about this place?
a. What do you see? What colours do you perceive?
b. Close your eyes, what sounds do you hear?
c. What is the mood?
d.  Take a deep breath, What do you smell, what scents are here?
e.  What are some textures here, Reach out your hands, what do you touch? What is the temperature, the wind, is it hot, cold? humid?
f.   What are the living things around you?  The plants, animals? fungi?
g.   Movement and Circulation: how do you move to and from this place (bike, walk, run...)
h.  Do you interact with others here?  (is this a path, a park, a yard, a sidewalk).  How?

evaluation:
20 - you write with insight, sensitivity and with adjectives which describe your place.  You write so well that your reader can experience the place for themselves.  Your drawing or photograph is eye catching.

17-18 - you write very well and with excellence.  Your drawing or photograph is gorgeous and artistic.

13-16 - This is an excellent start to some amazing writing.  You answer most of the questions and you have a really good photograph or drawing

5-10 - This is a good start and the assignment is incomplete


FYI, ALSO UPDATE YOUR BLOG with a cropped photo of your Cnidaria assignment.  Make sure your assignment has no name on it.
