Blog Questions Week 8
Congrats to Andrea of Grangeville, she’s our weekly winner!
Thank you all for the interesting responses about your community and what makes it ‘unique’ to you compared to other rural communities in Idaho.
I grew up in a small farming community in Idaho near the Utah border and I still think about it every day, the views and colors and smells and intense farm work we did (pulling rye, driving around and around in a tractor for 12 hours a day, herding cattle, etc) helped shape my life and world view. It’s that sense of place that helps define who we are and how we relate to the world around us.
I hope you’re all getting comfortable and familiar with the blogging process. Mary, MJ and I thank you for all the time and hard work you’ve devoted to this part of Horizons and know it’s just a small part of what you are all doing in your communities.
Please let MJ (merijoz@uidaho.edu) or me (dgray@uidaho.edu) know if we can help you with any questions you might have about blogging.
A ‘how to blog’ handbook is now available on our Horizons website at http://extension.ag.uidaho.edu/horizons/coaches.htm at the very top of the page…
Reflective Questions:
As we near the ‘end’ of this phase of Horizons, take a moment to look back on the past 18 months to answer these questions.
1. Has your community sought any additional resources outside of Horizons for your projects?
2. How has your community partnered with communities and/or organizations beyond Horizons?
Scavenger Hunt Question: Which Horizons community has an organization sponsoring a ‘Volcano Breakfast’ and what IS a Volcano Breakfast?
This week’s winner will receive a copy of:
One Nation, Underprivileged: Why American Poverty Affects Us All / Mark Robert Rank
