Now
that you’ve had a tour of Coloma, what do you think? Give a review of
the field trip. You may discuss any part of the trip or just a single
part. A good review will state a big idea about what you think and then
have several details to support that big idea. If you have more than one
big idea, then you would create more than one paragraph.
Think of all the things we did on the trip:
- the tour of the mill, the original mill site and the discovery site
- the outside exhibits and a discussion on gold from the park ranger
- the hike to the monument where we saw Marshall’s cabin, the cemetery and the place where James Marshall is buried
- a visit to the Monroe House that Pearley built in 1925
- the gold panning
- the tour of the Pioneer Cemetery where we saw the plot of the Monroe-Gooch family, a soldier from the Mexican-American War and the headstones for people from all over the world
Is there a part that you like best that you’d like to write about?
Was there a part that you didn’t like that you’d like to write about?
Do you want to give an overview of the entire trip?
Did you learn something good that you’d like to share with the world?
Those
are just some ideas; you may write about any portion of the trip. This
is the final blog of this trimester, so make it your best writing yet! Be
sure that you check your spelling and conventions and be certain that
you have said exactly what you want to tell the world.
As always, please comment on each other’s work. Everyone likes a nice comment!
