Homework items:
READ 10 Essential Herbs chapter 4 on cloves – pages 85-105.
READ What a Plant Knows, chapter 2 “What a Plant Smells” pages 27-48 AND prologue and chapter 1, pages 3-27 if you didn’t read it last week. Be prepared to narrate at least part of each chapter to me. (Narrate in this instance essentially means tell back to me what you remember from the reading, but in your own words. You’ll have a chance to build on others’ narrations and have others build off your own narration.)
FINISH and turn in any reaction papers have completed.
Only Tangentially Related…
I meant to share these books LAST week. These don’t have anything to do with botany or ecology unless you really stretch your imagination. (I mean, I’m thinking of a scene in book two, but still…)
I’m not a big fan of Orson Scott Card, however, these books were really fun and interesting. I’m adding this here because of how they are related to tracking things. If you’re looking for some crazy (and still clean) sci-fi, take a look at the Pathfinder trilogy.
