Task 2: Melber & Hunter / Strategy 8

Connecting With Cultural Institutions
Learning through field trips (strategy 8) is the task I chose to modify for use in my classroom. I teach fourth grade and each year we are required to attend an Animal Ag. Day sponsored by our county. All fourth grades in  the county are invited. Students visit several stations were volunteers discuss crops, livestock, forestry, 4H, aquaculture,etc. Strategy 8 gives me an idea of how I can make the experience more meaningful for my students. I can tie the trip to a theme. Students are required to take a pretest before the trip. Therefore, they can be required to take notes as they participate. I could use clipboards with pencils attached or maybe ziplock bags.may have to teach students to take notes or students could draw what they learn at each station. Students can listen for the correct answers to post test questions. The post test is given once students return to school. They could use their notes to help with the test.
