Natalie’s ink drawing of a boy hanging from a tree branch, with a big smile on his face. He is wearing a t-shirt and shorts and is barefoot.

Natalie’s line drawing of a person sitting on a bench, with back to the audience, outside next to a tree, there is a bird perched on the bench. In the upper left corner of the page are several flowers and leaves against a black background.

Natalie’s line drawings for the three days she missed. One is a rockabilly style heart with a ribbon around it, with “w.t.f.” on the ribbon. Another is a fantail goldfish. The third is a woman with her eyes closed and her left hand holding her right arm, with long hair flowing around her.

🗃️ Check out this incredible resource for engaging students in public history through National Parks! It’s designed for K-12 (three pathways), but could easily be adapted for higher education (I’m looking at the “junior historiographer” pathway!).
