Make Your Own Field Guide in the Classroom
Looking for a way to use nature journaling in your classroom? How about making a field guide for your campus or a nearby nature area?
Lesson plan from Wild Wonder Foundation: https://www.wildwonder.org/activity-collection-or-field-guide
Example field guide instructions for students: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gnnc69I2UUEuMb9XZGgXsQLD7PN3G9OD9RoRt-lMlm4/edit?usp=sharing (note: to make edits for use in your own classroom, go to “File” and then “Make a Copy”. Save the copy on your drive, and then you can edit your new copy to match your needs.)
