1. To apply interpretation on kids. When I go to the wetlands to greet the kids I will smile and ask questions about what they like, questions that will get them talking about there lives, and how it relates to them. This type of talk is called friendly talk. Since we will be interpreting to young kids I will be using small words or words they will understand, for example instead of saying the depth of the water is 6 feet I would say the depth of the water is as tall as me. This helps the kids understand what I am talking about.
2. When talking to the kids a good way to revel information to the kids is by capturing their interest. Other way is by asking them questions about the topic I would be interpreting to the kids. “Interpretation is revelation”.
3. “Be a combination of many arts” Tilden says interpretion is a art, which combines all arts. When I hear this I think of someone talking to a group of people and expressing his thoughts on wetlands. This to me is considered art. An example of this is simply when you are talking to your family at the supper table about your favourite thing you did today. There eyes are on you while you are speaking. When I am at the wetlands with the kids I would be telling story’s like at the supper table and there eyes would be on me.
4. “Provoke Intrest in the topic”. Tilden says “the chief aim of interpretion is provocation, not instruction.”. The point of this is instead of doing and activity with people and telling them what to do, show them with a image. In the wetlands I will be doing fun things with the kids such as doing fun little skits, asking them questions, and playing games.
5. “Be a part of a greater whole”. Tilden says “ interpretion should aim to present a whole rather than a part”. For me at the wetland I will aim to present the program as a whole meaning giving the the presentation to the kids, not just giving them bits expand pieces of it. If only giving them little pieces they won’t be able to be apart of a greater whole because they won’t know everything.
