Show Review Presentation and ask for other favorite examples from students. Prior to the tour, tell students note a memorable moment, location, or thing about the trip. Visit an area that shows lots of contrast. We felt the heat from sun reflecting off of white lime rock and the refreshing cool of the shade of the nature trail. We saw plants struggling to survive in the pits and the lush green around the wetlands.
