Becoming an Outdoors-Woman
Assignment for Credit
Peggy Farrell, Instructor
This assignment should help you explore your own attitudes toward the
outdoor activities taught at Becoming an Outdoors-Woman workshops, and how
the program relates to your life. If you are a teacher, you will be asked to
investigate infusion options. Please complete this assignment as one
article, rather than answering specific questions. The points below are to
help focus your writing. This article should be no less than two typewritten
pages.
1. Before the workshop, please evaluate yourself. Were you raised in an
outdoor family? What are your attitudes toward outdoor activities? Are you a
novice, average, or what level of activity?
2. Please make a journal of your reactions to each class. What did you
learn? How did you feel about the activities?
3. What did you get out of attending the BOW workshop? Did your skills
increase? Did your attitudes change?
4. For teachers only: Present a listing of ideas of how you might infuse
what you learned into your classroom.
5. Graduate Credit: Research issues related to one or more of the
courses/activities you learned. How might you get involved in those issues
in your community? BOW program may provide articles that relate to these
issues, you should investigate others. OR What are the environmental/social
issues related to each class you took? For example, if you were involved in
fly fishing or canoeing, discuss water quality, multiple use, etc. Hunting
and shooting classes, discuss wildlife management and social aspects.
This assignment is for one credit from UWSP. You will be graded on the
completeness of your essay in relating BOW to your own experiences.
