An Emotional Journey of Risk and Discovery

Many of the journeys are like a flowing river. Some journeys are pleasant and require very little effort simply floating on a warm sunny day and then suddenly things change where we can loose control like rapids on a river. At the end of a journey we are changed in some way. What is a journey? Would you go? Who would you take? Why would you go?

One particular journey that illustrates both excitement and tension is the Klondike Gold Rush of the late 1800's. What an exciting time this was! This journey was fraught with many emotions both positive and negative. By reliving this journey, the students captured the essence of what it means to take a journey. Enjoy!
