DAY 1

Yawn!!! Day one and it's already been a very full day! The historical aspect of what we've done and learned today is fantastic. I'm a history geek by nature so I thoroughly enjoyed our guided tour. We watched part of America's Castles, and then explored Adirondack Literature From a writer/history geek's perspective, I can't help but wonder what doors could be open up for students and their writing if they start looking around their surroundings with love, dedication, and the ability to write a good piece of literature based on their experiences in their own towns, cities, and even suburban neighborhoods. After all, look at all the attention the middle of nowhere received after some well written stories (based on interesting material ) where published. It's the ability to turn America's eye to a world familiar to students...cool!!
