Sense of Place by the Near by Park

1)  Do a nature journal drawing of some of your observations while in the park, it can be the whole thing, or of a small thing you noticed (Like someone said they saw squirrels hiding food in rocks, you could depict this).
2) Take a picture and upload your drawing.

3)  Reflect on the interconnectedness of you and the trees and living beings who reside in the park.
I connect to the trees and the living beings who reside in the park because we all live on earth. We all breathe the same air, live on the same planet. Trees give off the oxygen we breathe and the living beings make this world lively. 
4)  Reflect on how you value the park
The park makes me feel warm and welcomed into it because of the peacefulness of the park and the things surrounding it. 
5) Reflect on how this park plays a role in your own sense of place in Salem.  Explain.
This park plays a role in my own sense of place in Salem because it is right by campus and I can go hangout there with my friends or do homework. It is a very peaceful park to go to just to get some fresh air as well. 
6) Reflect on the field trip in general and what you liked most about going there.  Reflect on what you did not like.  
I really enjoyed this field trip. I liked how we left campus and explored a different environment. It was peaceful and I would go there again in my free time.
7) Reflect on whether or not you would like to do more little excursions like this one
I would do more excursions like this one because I like the fact we left campus and got away from the school. Its more fun to go to different places other than around campus to get a better and different sense of place.
