Another historic Montessori essay puts into writing a landmark activity in the middle school world: the school Odyssey trip. This type of trip challenges the group's ability to cooperate around daily living and is combined with the "testimony of the spade" that is so much a part of the archaeology discipline of physical work and study at Crow Canyon. This succinct and carefully structured sampling of Larry Schaefer's 2012 trip conveys his annual excursion in its full theoretical framework along with adolescent expression about their community dimensions that evolve in this remarkable setting.
