Fundamentals of interpretation

When I go to the wetlands I will interprete what I’m tanking about.

I will start with relating something to the audience like,
Talking friendly, smiling, saying hi, making small talk, and making eye contact

Then I will reveal some information by,
Building up the topic, and by asking questions to see if they know what the topic is about.

I will then combine many forms of arts like:
Telling a story, telling some jokes, acting something out, and using a picture to tell a story.

I will try to provoke interest by,
Playing a game, asking information, and showing a poster.

Be a part of the greater whole,
Try to connect the little things to a bigger picture, like how a wetlands can have a big impact on climate change. The wetlands is the little thing and climate change is the bigger picture.

We lifted the canoe and placed in the water sideways, this was becaucuse the river was flowing in the direction we placed the canoe. It was a little tough getting the canoe to move, mostly because of Gavin but when it started moving it was moving good. After everyone was on a canoe and were floating safely, Mr. Colson thought us how to do a ferry. This was pretty easy, Gavin and I got this on our first try. Then we moved on down the river, when we got to the first rapids, Mr.Colson stopped us and told us to go one at a time and to stay staring in the rapids. The rapids were pretty fun, I don’t think anyone got stuck at these rapids. We saw some sweepers and strainers through our whole trip. Kalean and Tyler were the first ones to get stuck, they got stuck in a sweeper. Then Jayden and Nathan got stuck on a ...
