I just went to Alberta for a week, so here’s what I learned. I recently went on a trip to the Canadian Rockies with the PLP program, this blog post is about what I learned in humanities during and after the trip. We worked on the geography comic life and the biggest project of the trip, the multi touch book. Over the trip I had to be thinking about school and my projects plenty and really changed my prospective on many other things by just being in a school but also a bit of a vacation mindset at the same time. The driving question for this project was how does the geography of the west affect who we are? Taking the driving question into serious consideration I made my comic life, my comic life needed a photo to represent each of the five themes of geography which were location, place, human environment interaction, movement, and regions, I also wrote words beside the photos representing how the photo connects to each theme. Here is my comic life below:

The biggest project of the entire trip and other subjects, the multi touch book was very intricate and detailed. I needed to make things like a title page, table of contents about the author and many more small little details like that. For the main part of the book I put nine photos along with a reflection to go with each one. This project was lots of work and really tested my mental ability to not procrastinate and work on it everyday for a while. I think this project really showed me how important taking notes is because when I took notes I saved time versus when I didn’t I needed to do much work digging. Heres the book:
