Thing 11

The trees are practice. This is a view from my daughter's former backyard. Always made me think of the old poem "Trees" by Joyce which begins "I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree." In the olden days of yore, we had to memorize poetry. Guess some things never go away. Now to Flickr. My topic was places. The places I've traveled and would love to return. This is amazing. Flickr that is. A person could wander within the site for hours. I did notice that the photos with multiple tags appeared over and over. A statement to myself: think before you post a photo of yourself-not everyon shares my humor. I really do not want the universe to question my sanity. Within a classroom, this would be a great tool to locate photos about setting. I discovered that my students had no clue about how dense a forest could be. They could not visualize how Henry Fleming in "Red Badge of Courage" was not able to see the enemy, but could hear fragments of sounds. This is a tool to bring the far away locations into the classroom. Just image how exciting it would be to see ancient Troy, Cyrus, and London. You will notice the picture of Big Ben is not near the bottom (need another lesson) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/weon/3343489097/)
What I am discovering is my navigation skills are limited.
