We later visited the Early Years campus to examine what kind of environment it was. We reflected on its function and how it was impacted by humans. We found evidence of many responsible choices.

Concept-Based Learning
We used the book A River Ran Wild, by Lynne Cherry, to think about the concepts of form, causation, and responsibility. It is a story about an American river impacted by humans in different ways over time. We used the lenses of our special glasses to examine the story and help us answer concept questions such as; What is it like? What caused it to be this way? and How can we take responsibility?.

G2/3, I am sure that those glasses with the special concept lenses you all made really helped you to see the book with a different perspective. What type of impact did the humans in the book have on the river? Did they take responsibility for their actions? Could you make any connections with rivers here in Cambodia? Did what Taivan from Ms. Meagan's class, shared at team time on Friday connect in any way?
ReplyDeleteThe people did not take care of the river ran wild because the people polluted the river by dumping their waste and even the river ran wild got mail paper.

My connection to the river we have to the book is that we actually throw trash to the river and we just ignore it but not always.
DeleteThe humans in the book don't have a good impact on the river cause they put waste in it.Two people got together to get the river clean and they took care of their responsibilitys and helped the river.Some rivers Cambodia are also very dirty because people throw their trash in it.Tavian was also talking about people throwing trash in the river so I think it is connected to the book

DeleteI think they take responsibility to the river because when two people woken up while dreaming about the river, they tried to tell everyone to clean the water because its their responsibility they agree to do it.
ReplyDeleteOur connection to the river that we have is that we actually ignore the river while is dirty and we throw trash to the river a lot but not always.
ReplyDeleteThe people impacted the Nashua river by dumping waste into it. The river got dirty and no fishes could live there.
ReplyDeletePheakdey I think they need to responsibility to the river do not throw cans or trash to the river when most of the people they need to used the water.Keep the water clean for fishes and sea creature's.
ReplyDeletethe impact that they had was to get enough water,food and all they needed.some of the people needed to be responsible to not throw waste in the river! they throwed many tipes of waste like paper mills and paper colors.
ReplyDeleteQuestion 1: The humans do not have have a good impact because they throw dies, garbage and waste.
ReplyDeleteQuestion 2: they throwed garbage and they they didn't care because they don't have to use it.
Question 3: when i went to the river i saw garbage in the bottom of the river its connected to the story because i saw many garbage in the story like in cambodia.

The nathaw people had a bad impact in the river because they throwed garbage in the river. the two people had a good impact on the river because they clean the river and they send message and put signs.

They take responsibly by saying there sorry that they kill the animal. They at the beginning they did't throw garbage at the river then they throw garbage. Two person put a sign to stop people from putting waste and garbage in to the river.
ReplyDeleteMicah: the humans impacted the river by throwing pulp and dye in the river. It was a negative impact. They took responsibility for it by stopping to throw pulp and dye in the river.
