On day 1 of the Cardigan trip, we got on the bus at Hopkinton Middle-High School. We moved from there to Orange, NH, in about 1 hour and 10 minutes. This describes the geographic movement of people. Once we were at Cardigan Mountain, we headed out on the 0.5 mile nature loop and (thankfully) eventually made it back to the beginning. We brought along with us our sketchbooks, which is an example of the geographic movement of things. Later, when we returned to Hopkinton, we brought the sketchbooks back which we scanned and uploaded to the web. We trudged along this path and eventually made it to a river, where we stopped to sketch. Here, our group leader, Emma, explained plot studies to us. Mrs. Baroody had explained the idea of symbiosis to us at school, and we passed that idea and information on to Emma, our group leader. She also explained the idea of plot studies to us, which is basically marking off a small patch of land and studying it very closely. When we came back to Hopkinton, we explained this way of study to Mrs Baroody, which portrays the geographic movement of ideas. We also After we completed the nature loop, we went to the pond directly next to the lodge. Here, we completed our pond study and sketched some more about organisms that we found there, including newts, tadpoles, water-striders, and even a leech. Finally, we returned to the lodge, where we ate a hearty family style meal and at last went upstairs to our bunk room and fell asleep.
