Good Morning everyone! Hope you had a relaxing and safe Spring break! We are back starting our final 6 weeks of online learning to finish out the semester. The topics we are going to cover for the remainder of the course include wildlife and natural resource management, animal science, genetics, entomology, agricultural machinery, and more. Also, the third greenhouse update video has been posted on YouTube, link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBdT86PjZ84 I've had some questions regarding the option to end the course with your current grade. While I would love to continue moving forward with content, I realize many of you have done incredibly well in my course so far and have other classes and circumstances that would make it preferable to take the grade you already earned. This is absolutely fine and will NOT impact your ability to move to my second-level class next year. If you are finishing my class with an A or a B, that means you did an excellent job during our science, soil, and plant units which would mean you are well-prepared for the General Horticulture course. Please reach out if you have any questions. This week we will continue with our Forestry unit. If you did not finish your tree identification activity, please continue to work on that. The next assignment is a little different and requires some creativity. Forests have often served as inspiration for some of our greatest writers and poets. This week, I want you to write either a poem or a short story about/set in a forest. In the past, my students have written murder mysteries, fairy tales, parodies on popular songs, and strange poems about a tree named Forest Lump that couldn't grow very fast. You will need to use at least 5 vocabulary terms from your forestry notes to describe the forest in your writing. If you are writing a short story it will need to be at least 4 paragraphs and if you are writing a poem it will need to be at least 5 stanzas. I've attached some famous poems for you to reference if you need some inspiration. Get creative, have fun with it, and please make sure to include the correct vocabulary! Please let me know if you have any questions, I look forward to seeing what you all come up with! Poems:
