Platt Grade 9 ELA curriculum includes an excerpt from WILD about Cheryl Strayed's journey on the PCT walking from Mexico to Canada.
Co-Teacher, Mr. Hubley is an avid hiker, and he completed a thru-hike of the Long Trail not toooo many years ago! He is a great resource throughout the unit.
We end the unit with him coming to school with all of this gear that one would need to complete a thru hike, like his, and like Strayed's. THis year, he brought in his hiking gear, demonstrated what and how he packed it, let us try it all on, talked about his experiences, and connected it all to our excerpt by Strayed!!
Thank you, Hubley!!! :)
