A touching moment from sharing a new idea, a fresh way of ‘measuring the world’ in a second year geography class.

I LOVED this!! The idea of poetry in a “science” course is RIGHT on!! Well, the reintroduction of humanities into a science course is always a great idea. I have been using art in geography 12 for a number of years, and poetry in Outdoor Ed…but hadn’t clicked to poetry in geography. I will be looking at this for next year, for sure.
Thanks, Christopher, for posting this. Glad to help out with your project.
Best,
