Web Log 8

I think that a local place is some place near the school where a teacher works. A local place is somewhere a teacher can use to help teach the students various lessons about different subjects if possible. An ideal local place would be like this place near my home in Pittsburgh called Hartwood Acres. Hartwood Acres is a spread out area with woods and a wide open field. The field is a good place to walk around and learn about different plants and smaller animals that may live there. The woods have many trails throughout them and are a good place to see larger animals like deer. There are many things that students could learn from walking through the fields and the woods, no matter what grade level they are at. This area would be a very good place for students who are in a science class to go. Students could learn the basics of nature to collecting samples from various things for more in depth studying. Also, for physical education classes it’s a very good place to walk or run. The students would get a lot of exercise walking around the fields and on the trails in the woods. Just going to a place like this to conduct any class would be a nice break from the classroom. I think any place that is similar to Hartwood Acres would be a good place to conduct class. I think it is necessary to go out of the classroom to teach because it is not always easy to have all the students pay attention.
