| The
expedition spans 16 weeks and
consequently the curriculum package consists of 16
units, one
topic for each week on the trail!
Each of
the 16 weeks, the weekly topic is introduced and highlighted on the
Arctic Blast website while the expedition team dovetails from the
trail. Drawing parallels from the print on paper (or screen) to
real life experiences and current social issues creates teachable
moments.
Though we
encourage involvement in the entire program, the easy and well
rounded format of each unit, makes either option a worthwhile and
equally effective lesson. It's the perfect tool as a primer
or meaningful end. A simple overall calendar
alerts you to live opportunities.
