Macbeth



Macbeth
William Shakespeare (modified to modern English by SparkNotes)
219 pages, either double or triple pages

After Macbeth defeated the armies of Norway and Ireland, he came across three witches who foretold he would be thane of Cawdor and king of Scotland. Surprisingly enough, King Duncan promoted Macbeth to thane of Cawdor. However, the promotion went to his head and put murderous thoughts into his mind. Macbeth killed Duncan and became king. The power went to his head more as people start rebelling, so he visited the witches once again, and they told him to fear the day Birnam Wood marches to Dunsinane Hill and fear not anyone born of woman. In the days following, rebel armies took pieces of Birnam Wood and marched with the branches to Dunsinane.
The brave Macduff, ripped out of his mother's womb and not naturally born, defeats Macbeth. Duncan's son Malcom was crowned king, and order was restored to Scotland.

Calvin Crest Outdoor School

Just about everyone had a great camp experience, and I'm no exception. I had a great deal of fun at camp. Over the period of this post I will summarize the clases we took and events that took place.
                        
                                            Night Hike
   You couldn't see much on the night hike, but you could hear a lot and trip easily. We learned about the Miwok tradition of spending a night in the woods before you could be a man.                                                               

[Ullner] Orienteering
In Orienteering, we learned how to use compasses. However, because Miss Ullner was teaching us, it was a lot more complicated than just walking around the woods. We were stranded on an alien planet, and had to orienteer our way out.

                           Rock Your World!
In Rock Your World we learned about the rock cycle (Igneous, Metamorphic, and Sedimentary. Say Whaa?), erosion, weathering, deposition, and mass wasting. In addition, I found obsidian on the Rock Your World Trail.

                                   Astronomy Night                                         
Astronomy Night was great! We made Star Charts and saw so many pictures of different galaxies, stars, and nebulae.

            Giant Sequoia
 On the Giant Sequoia hike, we hiked up to Seqouia National Park and observed the forests and types of trees. The Giant Sequoias, as their name suggests, were enourmous! It took 19 students in a human chain to wrap around a 2,000 year old tree, and 2,000 years isn't very old for a sequoia!

                                            Initiatives
Initiatives was all about trust and teamwork. In the first initiative I did, Incomplete Bridge, the team had to get across from the first platform to the third platforms, using only two boards of wood. It tuned out incomplete. On the second initiative, Ants on a Log, the team was split up into two. Left team had to get to the right of the log, vice versa. Also incomplete. Third Initiative: cross from Downsville, across the Lava River of Doom, and end up in Happyland.The Chickarees used two methods: Ferry, and One Person on Mats at all Times. The second worked. Final initiative: Spider Web. In Spider Web, all players had to cross through the spider web to the other side. 
                   
                                 Skit Night                                              
One of my favorite nights. Everyone performed a skit with their cabin. The skits included "The Tragedy of MacVader," "Candy Shoppe," "The Firing Squad," and many more.

                                   Survival
Kind of self explanatory. We learned how to survive in the wilderness, and what you can and cannot eat.

                                       Miwok
On the Miwok Trail we learned all about the Miwok: How they hunted, their uses for mugwort and soaproot,their belief system, etc., etc.

                                      Logger's Jamboree
A variation of free time. We did tons of logging-based activities, such as Ladder of Doom.

                                     Quiz Night
A big Wheel of Fortune type game full of questions relating to the classes we took. It was fun winning, even though my cabin had to wash dishes.

    Well that's all for now. Took a long time to type.
