Last week our OJH 7th-grade critical thinkers braved the Canadian Boreal Forest during ELA class. During their adventure, they encountered a Black Bear, a Swarm of Bees, Got Lost, and had to find shelter for the night. Then, they had to determine the best way to return home after overcoming all the obstacles. When each group survived, the media wanted to hear about it, so the hikers gave a press conference.
Our Bobcats showed impressive use of critical thinking skills and had a blast with this activity!
