Day 1


Wow. I really can’t believe today was the first day of project. Time really does fly! I am super excited for my project to go underway, and can’t wait for all that is to come!

For my project, I will be revisiting my past field trips I took while at Hawken Lower School. Prior to each visit, I will record my memories and impressions from each trip, interview classmates and teachers, and research the place I am off to visit. Then, when I return, I will record my new impressions of where I visited, and compare how my outlook has changed over the years. Some of my trips include: the West Side Market, Hastings’s Dairy Farm, the Cleveland Art Museum, Botanical Gardens, Rainforest, Cleveland Orchestra, and much more!

I chose to do this project because I feel it will be a nice way to conclude my 15 years at Hawken. I am sure there will be a lot of reminiscing between surveying my classmates, talking with old teachers, and thinking about past memories.  The greater focus of my project, however, is to try to pinpoint the benefits of experiential learning and propose how I believe these trips impacted the way I see the world. So I ask, what better way to investigate experiential learning than by means of experiential learning?
