Tour of wetland with mr.Miller

During the morning we talked and discussed and went through our groups for our interpretation with the kids at our wetland. He gave everyone advice and suggestions on how to make there paper better. Some stuff he suggested for our group is to add more examples for the answers to the questions we ask, he suggests some changes to out script like  the first thing we say should be a question for the kids that relate to the theme of out script.

Some overall things he told to our whole class was to not worry about the behaviour of the kids, talk loudly to the kids, talk simple like general so they will understand easily. He suggested changing some of the games and adding some games into different stations for a better understanding of the station. He told us that writing stuff out on a wipe bored is a great idea for showing the kids what you are talking about. He also had ideas for us to face the kids away from the wind and sun.

After we were done in the class room we walked down to the wetlands for a interpretion tour. He took us around the wetlands talking about the best place for each station to be placed. He made suggestions for each group, for adapt or die he made the suggested to get rid of the game and just take them on a mini tour to let them touch each of the things for example a tree eated my a beaver, or a bats nest. He talked to us about the cattails that we have in our wetlands. He showed us that the bottom of the cattails are eatable and he broke some off and let us try.

As we walked around our wetlands he taught us a new game he wanted to incorporate into our script. He told us how to explain it and how to run it smoothly. He used a sound device to get our attention, he told us that it would be a good idea for us to have one during our interpretation. He said that the game was only to last about 5-6 minutes. After we were all done we thanked him for coming and for his help.
