EOE 7 (January 12th -January 19th)
We have been working through understanding topographical maps. We have spent time learning what contour lines represent and how we calculate trip distance using the scale on the map. Students will now create their own map for a national park they will create. It will have to meet certain criteria and will have a four classes to complete it.
EOE 9 (January 8th - January 31st)
Currently we are working through our Avalanche Awareness unit, which will culminate in our Snowshoe trip. Our Snowshoe trip has moved to early March.
We will look at the snowpack, how it changes and why. We'll talk about route planning, what terrain traps are and how to avoid them. Later we'll discuss the gear you use in the backcountry and steps that are involved in saving someone who might be caught in an avalanche.
This is a simple introduction. This is not meant as a comprehensive class. Students should not head into the backcountry without a more involved class.

EOE 8 January 9th to January 13
This week, students will be presenting their Leave No Trace projects to the rest of the class.
Students will be asked to volunteer and then after those who wish to present have gone, the remaining students will be picked at random, so all students must be prepared to present!
A reminder that ALL assignments must be handed in no later than Friday January 13th. Students were informed before winter break what they still need to hand in. Marks have been posted to HomeLogic so they could also refer to that to see their missing assignment. All Assignments are posted to D2L and all students have access to them.
Have a great week!
