The purpose of this unit is to add an experience-based component to standard high school and middle school courses. This unit is an extension of an approach developed by Project Adventure; the program’s aim is to educate the whole student through sound academics, physical activity, and learning that enhances self-concept. This project is divided into two parts. The first part is a walking tour of Fair Haven and the second part is a canoe trip down the Quinnipiac River. Student worksheets are interwoven throughout the narrative. Bibliographies are followed by maps and diagrams that can be easily reproduced for classroom use.
(Designed for use in Social Studies classes where Connecticut History is taught.)
