GO: Prepared students recently enjoyed a visit to the Oshkosh Public Museum, where they saw a range of exhibits on diverse topics such as Wisconsin’s indigenous history, the photography of Lewis Hine, and drinking vessels through the centuries. This coincided with an in-class presentation project on historically significant museum items such as the Hope Diamond, the Elgin Marbles, and the Rosetta Stone.
Taking advantage of some nice weather, GO: Prepared also took a trip to High Cliff State Park as part of a unit on wildlife and ecology (including a presentation on invasive species around the world like the American Bullfrog, the Emerald Ash Borer, and the Argentine Ant). While the larger fauna mostly eluded us during our trip, students were able to experience some of the fascinating plant and insect life that we share our beautiful state with.
