2. Field trips abolish the ‘’walls’’ that
divide the classroom and the
outside world. Field trips also
connect people. All people
involved in the field trip –
students, teachers, parents,
school head
3. Application:
1. Role-play the situation: you intend to bring your class
to a field trip. Play your role as teacher in the three
distinct stages: 1.) Advance planning, 2.) Taking the
trip and 3.) follow up activities.
2. In your small groups, plan for a field trip. Come up
with a written plan, exchange plan with another
small group and evaluate each other’s plan.
3. Go back to the questions asked during the post-field
trip activities. These are questions meant to evaluate
the field trip. What questions would you add?
4. 4.)Which objectives and content in the RBEC are best
learned by way of field trips?
5.)There are so many details given above regarding
preparing and planning for field trips. You may not be
able to see the trees because of the forest. Can you
reduce the details on preparing and planning for field
trips by the use of a flow chart? (A sample of flow chart
is in Lesson 13).
6.)Go over relevant virtual field trips offered by various
Internet sites. Evaluate them. Can they take the place
of actual field trips?
