Write an article for young people about outdoor learning. In your article you should:

  • evaluate the ideas, opinions and attitudes given in both texts

  • give your own views about whether or not an outdoor education for children and young people is feasible or desirable.

Base your article on what you have read in both texts, but be careful to use your own words. Address both of the bullet points.
