Purpose:
When you are finished with the final project,  you will be able to identify and have an understanding of 45 major plants on the DHS campus.  By following a guided audio (and supplementary web-based) tour of the campus flora, I hope that you will gain a better appreciation for these interesting plants and recognize them throughout town.

Requirements:

• Get the plant information recordings by one of the following four ways: 
  
  • Subscribe to the iTunes Podcast
  1. Click on this iTunes button:  to subscribe using iTunes. 
     
  2. After subscribing, click Get button next to each plant episode to have iTunes download them.
  3. Sync with your iPod
     
  • Download and save this zipped file (dhsplants.zip)  ...it is 50 MB so it will take a while to download.  Only do this one time since it will severely strain my bandwidth allowances for my web site.  Make sure you unzip the file before accessing the folder from your mp3 organizing program . 
    
  • Bring a flash drive and get them off of my computers.
  • If you have unlimited data (or enough data) you can just listen to the podcasts using the Podcast app on your phone (search for the DHSplants podcast) or directly from the wikispaces site if your phone can play flash content.
    
  
  
• You will put the 45 podcast recordings onto your iPod/mp3 player.  (Please talk to me immediately if you do not have access to a player.)  As you walk around campus following the numbered map and listening to the tour, you will answer questions about each plant in your DHS Plants Question Packet.  See the packet for rules and instructions.

Go to the DHS Plants Web site

1. Go to our class site http://dhsplants.wikispaces.com/
2. You will find a copy of the question packet, a numbered map, and information & pictures of each plant. 
   

Grading is based on:

• The completion and accuracy of your question packet
• Test on the last day of class on plant identification and features... you will have to ID each plant by sight.
  
• Following of all directions and doing what you are supposed to be doing during the class periods (I will not tolerate unacceptable behavior, lack of work, use of phones other than directly for the project, disrupting others, copying, etc.)  No warnings.
