Guide Entry to 25.01.12

I grew up hating birds. They’re loud, they’re everywhere, and they release their bowels when and wherever they choose. In contrast, there are many people who dedicate many hours observing, identifying, and cataloguing these winged beasts. After spending hours of dedicated research to learn about them and their adaptations, I understand those who, past and present, make the choice to identify and learn about the birds they encounter every day. This unit will awaken that same intellectual curiosity in students by asking them to use art to understand and analyze avian adaptations.
