Students are tasked with selecting an outdoor activity that they would like to engage in for at least 20 minutes  every week over the course of the semester and reflect upon their experiences before, during and after the activity.  For example, they might choose to go for a walk, seek out a hike in different parks each week, relax by the lake, or go for a swim.

This unit helps students explore the role green spaces play in personal well being through observation, writing, community engagement, and shared mapping technology.
