On the third and final day of the AMC Cardigan trip, I woke up, had breakfast, and went outside with the other students on the trip. In the field, it had started to drizzle, and we played resource games. After this, us students gathered into our hiking groups with our educators and went to our designated activities. Ours was "The Mystery of the Trees", where our group used a given amount of steps to take and clues to find specific trees. My group also hiked the Nature Trail, had lunch by a river, and looked for caddisflies in it, then hiked the dirt road back to the Lodge. Our trip ended with each member of the group saying what they liked and disliked about the experience, playing the screaming game in the field- which involved us running across the field screaming, and boarding the bus to leave the AMC Cardigan Lodge to move back to the Middle School, which is an example of movement, one of the five themes of Geography!. When my father and I got home, he talked about ORT, and constantly reminded us of it. This is another example of movement, for the idea of ORT moves from the Cardigan lunch room to our own home. A final example of movement is myself, moving from Rhode Island this past summer, to Hopkinton, and to Cardigan for the short field trip.
This is a sketch of Cadisflies our group found at a river at the middle of the Nature Trail. This was the only sketch our group stopped to do, and the final sketch I drew on the Cardigan Trip.
