Field Trip Report Outline
Introduction
General location
Who were you with
The purpose of the trip
Stop descriptions
What were the observations made at the stop
What was discussed? Were new ideas introduced? How do those relate to what you have learned so far (i.e. how does that help you further analyze the stops seen on our trip)? Be sure to keep those in mind when discussing your observations
Remember to use your handouts as a reference, too
Include photos and sketches you have
Identify in your text which image I am to look at with respect to what you are describing. Be sure that image is labeled and you include a brief description of what I am supposed to notice in the picture
What are your interpretations (based off of your observation)
Conclusions
What do your observations and interpretations mean?
How are the stops related?
What does this mean for natural disasters? Postulate some ideas on what implications your finding have for people living in this area – risk to life, financial consequences, etc.
You don’t need to include this in your report, but I want you to think about how what you learned here relates to where you live.
