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 called perch pike and planaria.

Before we left for the wetlands we all had a chance to read through our sections. After we read through our sections Berit gave us his opinion on what he would change and what he would do if it was him doing it. A lot of the things he said that he would change was wording. He said that you should not tell the kids what not to do but instead tell them what to do. For example instead of saying don’t jump into the water you should say make sure to be careful around the water.
