1) I think that the strengths of preparing the tour was that we were prepared to speak well and had done research, but the challenges was that sometimes the kids might get disinterested, and it was hard to think of ways beforehand to deal with that.
2)The strengths of me giving to tour was that I kept them interested and they learnt quite a lot, but it was a little frantic today as it was the first time giving the tours. I think the audience got quite a bit out of the tour, but more out of the "camouflage, mimicry, and warning colours" because it was more interesting.
3) I think what I need to work on next time is to get the plan sorted. I will do this by setting a map so we know exactly where to go, instead of going in circles instead of going from bottom to top.

Yes, it did seem like in the first tour your team was sort of "winging it". When you are giving tours, it is important to keep the group interested, but you aren't an entertainer. You can keep their interest by having them do things like sensory experiences and investigations. I want you to remember to always demonstrate treating the forest with care because you want your audience to act accordingly.
