Becoming an Outdoors-Woman
Assignment for Credit
Diane Lueck, 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.
