Canoeing day 1

May 10 My canoeing experience Today was the first day of canoeing. The first thing we had to do was unload the canoes off the trailer, I thought this would be a lot harder than it actually was. Once we got onto the canoes we had to do a full circle witch I thought was pretty easy. When moving the canoe forward the person in the back had to do a j-stroke witch is a stroke witch keeps the canoe moving in a straight line. This stroke turned out to be a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. Overall I thought that this canoeing trip was fun. Mr Coulson said that we needed to bring a extra set of clothing in 2 garbage bags, a towel, something to hold your glasses on, and something to scoop water out of your canoe. 1101 is you have 1 minute of hyperventilation you have 10 minutes of moving around in the water then you have 1 hour before going unconscious this happens when you fall in the water.
April 30 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” (...
The most important thing in a wetland I think that the most important thing that a wetland does is it provides habitats for animal that would not have a habitat other wise.
