Project Summary
The ITW Project has been a very long process. It all began soon after we got back from Christmas break. In our Humanities class, we read literature about the wild and studied the life of Chris McCandless. Chris McCandless was a young man who burned all of his money, left behind his belongings, and took only the necessities into the Alaskan brush. Never to be seen alive again. We took journal entries about each assignment we did and created discussions to debate Chris' reasoning behind going to Bus 142, where he was found dead. In Math/Physics, we learned about different types of energy, magnetism, and the transfer of heat. By using what we learned, we created soda can stoves, compasses, and headlamps that we later used while camping in Anza Borrego. After a month or two (Its been so long I can't even remember) of preparing, we finally applied what we learned and went Into the Wild. Into Anza Borrego, that is. We were able to use our stoves, compasses, and headlamps that we created, and were required to write a journal of the three days. Setting up and packing were tedious, but the rest of the trip was awesome!
