The talk only needs to go for anywhere between 2 and 3 minutes. It needs to cover the following: · What it looks like (bring a picture if you want). · Where it lives. · What it eats. · Characteristics. · You can add more if you think it is relevant. But remember, it is only a short talk. Packing the appropriate equipment Gear List Students are required to prepare a completed gear list for the trip.

5. Print and bring to the next outdoor education class. Here are a few tasks for you to complete to learn about navigation, maps and compasses. Some activities will need to completed in class, others can be done at your own pace. 1: What is navigation? Write down a few dot points about what you think navigation is. Then compare this list with two others in the class. In this group come up with a definition of what you think navigation is. Compare your definition to the one in the textbook (1a/1b Outdoor Education p. 35). 2. In your same group of three, brainstorm as many different maps and styles which you can think of. 3. Information on a land map. With the map that the teacher has handed out, list all the information that you think is relevant. Compare this list to that on pp. 37 – 38 of the textbook. 4. Scales Activity: Measuring mapped distances between points (straight and curved). We will give you a list of points that you will need to measure and find out the total distance. 5. Grid Referencing We will list a number of grid references and you will need to list what is feature is at that GR. 6 .

Step 6:

Now the trip is complete and you’re well rested after your exciting adventure, there is still one more thing that you have to do. You are all required to complete a Photo Story of your personal and learning adventures that took place over the seven days of the hike. Photo story is a program on your school computers that allows you to make a story from pictures that you took along the hike. There will be heaps of pictures to use, located on your student drive. You are also encouraged to use any pictures that you took yourself whilst on the track. Your story must include personal challenges, successes, and failures (if there were any), that you yourself encountered on the trip. It must also show clear links to the theory and how you have applied it (whether successful or or not), on the trip. The slide show doesn’t just have to have pictures! It can have music, narration, titles and speech bubble, just like in a comic book! So show just how creative, funny, exciting, sad or loving you can be in your story.
