Fishing adventures in Wisconsin's national forests
In this half-hour feature video below from the Emmy-winning Into the Outdoors Education Network, you’ll get to share two separate family fishing adventures in Wisconsin. It all starts when an innovative teacher created a summer-school homework assignment that required two “cell phone-addicted” students to make it their “mission to go fishin”. As you watch, try to identify a handful of key elements that can make real family fishing adventures happen on a National Forest near you.
Besides enjoying the action in this feature program, kids and teachers can share the education that’s part of almost every fishing adventure by watching the companion classroom videos and lesson activities with the links below. They’re free, fun and an easy to download for engaging peer-driven classroom learning… complete with hands-on sections for getting kids and families fishing.
