I'm not sure how many people are sticking around Victoria to do their practicum or to start their teaching career but for any of us heading back to the lower mainland I think a trip to Stanley Park would be very valuable for a field trip. I went on a field trip there in high school (cant remember what grade) to look at all the geography in the park. I know we haven't really spoken about geography in this class but it is apart of the social studies curriculum and there is even in fact a provincial examinable class that is based purely on geography. Imagine that. As we all know there are plenty of students out there who learn from doing and seeing, so why not plant them (its a play on words, get it) right in the middle of one of the most diverse spots in the lower mainland. The Stanley Park Ecology Society has been running school tours for years there and have plenty of worksheets and all that kind of stuff you'll want to make sure your students are staying on task and not just taking a cruise through the park. Here is the website to set up a field trip for your class.
