My experience in the canoe

My experience was good. I had a good partner at roughly the same weight that creates a easier stability. The hardest part for me was learning the new terms because in Portage we used terms C-stroke (sweep) and remembering which stroke did what turns. I found that I enjoyed being the power because Noah and I worked well in that order. Jack Coulson said we needed bailing buckets and glasses clips along with extra clothes and shoes. 1-10-1. You have one minute to hyperventilate, 10 minutes to move around freely, and 1 hour until you are unconscious.

1. What worked in our station? It really started working when we used analogies like the jelly beans and fevers. 2. What didn’t work?

Were there outstanding students at your station and why? We had a couple of kids who just knew everything we were talking about and then there were kids who got what we talked about but didn’t know when we started it really caught on and stayed. In our class the most outstanding student would have to be Owen he spoke up and took control of our group

Reflection Questions

1. What do you remember best from outdoor ed from this past year I don’t get the question if your asking what I remembered,I remember the struggle before our wetland  interpretation trip when we had so many projects to hand in. We had our posters, flash cards,presentations and much more and the stress kept building up on top of the pile of work we had. It if your asking my favourite moment it would have to be the final canoe trip when we stopped and swan just having fun pushing each other in and the wet sandy mud in between my toes.

Megan was a good partner and helped me get those projects in sooner and helped me improve them. This was challenging for me because I get stressed out and anxious very easily and this was a lot for me. 3.What did you find intere
