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.

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 ...
