In Being Outdoors, Rushton features a “video by an organization called Dirt is Good, you’ll hear from several men about what it means to be in prison. They talk about how they think and what they value. In particular, they talk about being outdoors.”
He gives the following prompts to accompany this video:
“If you were in prison, do you think you’d feel the same way that these men do? Why or why not?
Do you know people who aren’t in prison, but they are prisoners to something that holds them back from things they want to do? Without sharing a name, can you describe someone like that?”
As a hiker, I couldn’t imagine not being outdoors. We love to hike and camp because we love nature. It puts all of my problems and worries into perspective. There is so much to learn from being outdoors and too many adults forget about this. I think finding ways to bring learning activities outdoors can really impact learning.
Please check out the video and think of other prompts you might come up with. Please share.
