Another Day At The Park

The trail we took, was very exciting. I enjoy nature and exploring the park. I saw some things that amazed me. During our walk through the park I spot places where erosion took place. I saw many trees that had fell down due to the rain...We stopped at a intrence. The intrence was missing alot of signs that where needed. For example signs telling you where the bathroom was located and water fountains. If I was able to change something about the park, I would change the fact it doesn't have too many good signs and the way it's set up for walkers, and bike riders. It's very complicated to walk and have to move every five seconds due to a biker passing. Overall I love going to the park.

My Week...

On Monday, we took a trip downtown to visit some sites to see how they changed over time. This was a very exciting trip. I saw some on the bodies of water in Philadelphia and saw the back trails to the city where you rarely see people walking and bikes, but more cars. During our first trip to the park, which was Tuesday, we trailed the Wissahickon Park. While walking we saw some interesting things. We saw some places where erosion took place and the land switched shape. Wednesday, we watched a movie about Hurricane Katrina and how the people of New Orleans suffered. It was a very sad film. On Thursday, we went back to Wissahickon Park to take another trail going towards Falls Bridge which allowed us to see other roads for bikers and how the cars travel. I learned a lot this week. I think the park should have more spaces to sit and rest, bathrooms and water fountains. I would ulike to learn more about the bodies of water, where, and how they flow.

The walk of History

Mircale Makers: Yesterday, we took a walk to different historical places. The walk was very long and tiersom. Even though, some of the facts and places were very signifigant, we feel like the walk was very pointless. Although the sites were extremely amazing and we learned alot. We just don't think they were enough hands on, or informational, like it should have been.

Universal Negro Improvement Association:
The philosophical system was founded by Marcus Garvey which states that people of African descent can only establish true freedom by relying on self, and not others. UNIA headquarters, has been located at 1611 Cecil B. Moore Avenue in North Philadelphia for 46 years steady. There are approximately 2,000 UNIA members nationwide, and they have made the pledge to "do all in their power to conserve the rights of their noble race and to respect the rights of all mankind, believing always in the brotherhood of man and the Fatherhood of God."

Get Lost!

Mircale Makers: Today, we played a game which included us to get lost on Temple campus and find our way back to the desinated place, which was the Sac building. The game wasn't at all difficult and with the help of all our group members we found our way back easily in less than 10 minutes. It was a fun experience and we enjoyed getting lost.
