Today, we did the following:
- Engaged in FEAR Time.
2. Visiting Magic Bus 142 – We watched a four-minute non-narrated video of a hiker who made the trek out to Bus 142 on the Stampede Trail. The video looks at the interior of the bus as well as the surrounding immediate area:
3. Quick Question Survey – Students received a half-sheet, five (5) question survey. Students were asked to answer only question 1.
4. Counterpoint Article #1 & #2 – Students read “In Alaska’s Wilds, the Mystic Hiker’s Bus Draws Pilgrims to Danger and Death” from The Guardian. We also read two articles about the death as well as rescue of “pilgrims” who wish to visit the bus because they are drawn to the whole story. We also read an article debating whether or not the bus should be hauled off the Stampede Trail to keep McCandless pilgrims from getting into danger. I posed questions as we read each article.
5. Return to Quick Question Survey & Discussion – Students answered the remaining questions on the half-sheet which acted as discussion points.
STUDENTS HANDED IN HALF-SHEET FOR PARTICIPATION CREDIT.
