A site dedicated to one of East Lothian's most famous sons, John Muir. Born in Dunbar in 1838, John Muir was enchanted by the natural world. He travelled to America as a young man and, inspired by the rugged wilderness of California, started the Sierra Club. Today, visitors to Yosemite and other National Parks are following in his footsteps.

About this site
2001
Our site explains the truths, half-truths, and flat-out lies that occur the state or national government takes property from people. We have used three different pieces of media as main sections of our site which we think represent at least the three different views we encountered throughout our study. One of these was Grandpa's Mountain by Carolyn Reeder. This and the other pieces of media are all based on the Shenandoah National Park, where people once lived before being displaced when the park was created. We interviewed Carolyn Reeder, the Perdues (who have studied the Shenandoah National Park displacements for years), and Darwin Lambert, (who wrote The Undying Past of Shenandoah National Park and was the first employee of the National Park Service in the Shenandoah National Park.) We hope, by visiting our site, you understand the real story of the Shenandoah National Park and what happened to the people who lived there.

Our project is a web site about The Grand Canyon. Our team is made up of two girls from Eugene, Oregon and two girls from Mesa, Arizona. Alysha made a big web site project last year and decided to one again this year. Alysha and Rachel made a list of possible topics and decided on The Grand Canyon. They thought they would learn about a new place. They asked Mrs. Smith if she could help them find partners in Arizona because that is where the Grand Canyon is. We are penpals with a class in Mesa, so we picked two students from that class to work with us. Two of us are in fifth grade and two in fourth grade. We wanted to make a site that other kids could go to to learn about the Grand Canyon. We do research projects during the year and in Oregon we have portfolios that we put assignments in that our teacher scores with a special scoring guide. We take state tests in 5th grade and have to pass benchmarks. This project has work towards many of the benchmarks we have to meet. We learned how to do research in libraries and on the web. We showed that kids can work together over the net to make a project. First, Rachel and Alysha made a big storyboard and put down what they wanted to do. Then we emailed Callie and Courtne to see what things they could do. Each of us was responsible for certain pages. Often though we did research and found things that fit on another person's page and would give it to them. We worked together on lots of the pages. In Arizona, Callie and Courtney use share their project in student led conferences.

This website entry is about our learning experience during our fall field trip to Yosemite National Park. Our group researched about Yosemite's explorers, wildlife, flora, hiking, and geography. In addition to research material, we have included photos, games and a quiz to test the knowledge of our website searchers. We hope this site will provide information about Yosemite that proves useful in their research and travels.
