Interpretation
1. Relate to the audience. “ any interpretation that does not somehow relate what is being displayed or described to something within the personality or experience of the visitor will be sterile” (Tilden 1967).  you should  try to find out what the people you are talking to know about the site and it’s natural features. You should also try to find out what interests them the most about the site. People tend to relate to information that is directly related to observable features of the land.

2. Reveal information about the topic. “ information, as such, is not interpretation. Interpetation is revelation based on information”  (Tilden 1967)  to reveal information find a element within the topic that you can put a new spin on, this gives the veiwer a unique viewpoint.

3. Be a combination of many arts. “Interpretation is an art, witch combines many other arts. Whether the materials presented are scientific, historical or architectural” (Tilden 1967) interpretation is a art that combines many other arts. Graphic layout is a art form itself  especially when combined with images.

4. Provoke interest in the topic. “The chief aim of interpretation is provocation, not instruction” tilden  (1967)  catchy titles will grab the attention of viewers


5. Be a part of a greater whole. “Interpretation should aim to present a whole rather than a part” (Tilden 1967)  strive to create a overall theme for the area than break it into different sub themes.

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...
