If you did not attend the trip write a reflection on the progress of your Photovoice Community Action Project.


  • Describe your visit
    • What was it like?  What were the highlights? What did you learn?  What did you find interesting? What will you remember the most from this trip?

  • Explain how this experience compares to the way you learn in the classroom... How is it similar, how is it different?
  • Do you think this trip could have been improved?  If so... how?
  • Did our guides aboard the Pioneer do a good job of teaching you?  What things did they do well?  What could have been better?
