Reflection questions

1.  I remember the first canoeing trip on a river the best. I think that that trip was the perfect length it was not to long or to short, and overall I thought that it went a lot better than the second river canoeing trip. 2. I think that the last canoe trip challenges me the most I found it hard to keep paddling toward the end. 3. I found all the field trips interesting. I think that we had a good mix of field trips like canoeing and going down to the wetlands. 4. I would like to have more group activities, I find group work easier that individual work. 5.  I think that in the future I would like to do more canoeing, so the canoe skills we learned will be helpful 6. I think that outdoor ed would be even better if we spent more time outside instead of in the classroom 7. I think that if it was a trip that I was interested in I would be willing to put some money toward it. 8. I think that there is a good balance of outdoor activities and theory, it would be hard to fit in more f

What worked? I think that overall the kids listened well, and payed attention to what we were saying. They seemed to enjoy the game at my station. What didn’t work? I think that the timing at my station was a bit off we often were to late and didn’t have enough time to fully explain. What was a difficulty I didn’t expect? I did it expect some of the teachers/parents to walk off at the end instead of going to the fire. We’re there outstanding students at your station and why? I think that there were several outstanding students that came through my station. Several kids seemed to know a lot about what we were talking about before we said it. What could we do better I think that the teachers could have been givin more information about how things would be going this would have prevented teachers walking off to the bus at the end. My comments I think that overall everything went really well and there was few problems. The majority of the kids seemed to be having a good tim

Berit miller On may18 the class went down to the wetlands to be taught how to interpret by Berit Miller. When we were at the wetlands we were taught a variety of different things, all of witch will be helpful on Tuesday when we go down to the wetlands. One of the most common things people were worried about was not being able to hold the students attention. Berit Miller teached us how to get and keep the students attention. At the wetlands he taught us general interpretation tips like standing facing the wind or the sun so it does not distract the kids. He also told us that all the kids should be in a triangle that you make with your arms so the audience can see and hear your clearly. After he gave us some general tips we all went station to station and he gave us tips that were specific to each station. My station was producers consumers and de composers, for our group he taught us a new game that was simpler and easier to teach to the children. The game that he taught us was c

River canoeing

On Monday we went canoeing on the river and learned many things. One of the first things we learned was another way to put our canoe into the water instead of putting it straight in we put it in sideways. Another thing we learned how to do was ferry across the river this is helpful when you need to get from one side of the river to another easily. During class time we had talked about strainers and sweepers in rivers when we were on the river we actually got to see a sweeper witch we had to avoid. At one point in the trip me and my partner got stuck on a rock in a set of rapids, after some time we got our canoe free and continued on the trip, from there on we were extra careful making sure we did not hit anything else, this experience taught us how to identify objects in the water. Overall I learned a lot of skill that will be useful later on.
