Creative Professors, Creative Students

Wonders of America
4 natural wonders of the USA:
Death Valley
Grand Canyon
Niagara Falls
Old Faithful

The campers were to read the short texts about these wonders - one for a group of 3 or 4 - and then to prepare a skit.
Professor Katherine D. explained how to act. And inspired students became 'birds' flying over, 'families', 'guides', 'tourists', even 'geysers'!
