Narrative:

The student was flying the aircraft until the incident occurred. At that time, I took the aircraft from the student. We began the flight with one touch and go at glh on runway 36L. After the touch and go, the student requested to depart to the west. We departed the area at 1000 ft MSL. Once we were west of the levee and east of the mississippi river, the student descended to an altitude of approximately 25 ft AGL. At that time, he also turned to the north and proceeded to fly back and forth between the river and the levee. This was for pleasure. We were sight seeing. (For lack of a better description.) at approximately 11-15 NM from the glh airport the student noticed a truck on top of the levee heading north. He then proceeded to descend and fly past the truck on the east side of the levee. At that time, the aircraft touched to levee with the main left gear, then the nosewheel which was knocked from the aircraft touched, and at the same time the left wing clipped some tall grass. This occurred in a matter of seconds. I took over the aircraft, looked at the instruments and circled back around to see the damage. The airspeed, indicator was reading zero and all engine instruments were 'in the green.' we could see some debris on the ground. I returned to the airport and upon entering downwind for runway 36L requested a gear check. 2 mains no nose I made an emergency landing on runway 09. There was no fire or damage to the engine. No one on board was hurt.
