3. Ottawa 1

4. War museum The war museum, we spend an hour probably to an hour and a half walking around exploring all the different spots with all different information, it had three different spots the main spot which had all the tinier stuff but most of the information, the basement which had all the big stuff and less information the the one spot where on remembrance day the light shines through the window on the grave of an unknown soldier . The value of this activity is to learn more information were not taught i also think it was so we can really see how bad all of it was by see the guns and the clothes and the beat up cars. I think it was effective i learned a bunch of new stuff like with the medical operations i didn't know that their most successful was drilling a hole in the skull. I do definitely recommend, it was an overall 9/10 experience.

5. Byward market The Byward market, i'm not too sure what the learning activity was for this but we ate lunch here and got to explore all the small businesses and food trucks and just the city around it, the value i would say is time management and and collaboration, time management being knowing where to get back to are meeting points and collaboration being getting to know knew people. The byward market was stunning with the bright colors. I don't really think its effective but it's definitely a great place for lunch with all the options. I give it a 8/10 overall.

6. Parliament hill Parliament hill, we got to go on a guided tour so see all the green seats where people decide the laws and if their effective, we got to see all the statues and paintings, the value im not to sure, i think to show us how many chairs and the reasons why their the color they are, i don't really think this was effective, i just didn't click with it, overall i give it a 6/10. Would Have enjoyed it maybe a little more if she didn't give as much information as she did i feel like it was a bit to much.

7. Supreme court The supreme court , we learned all the levels and systems stuff has to go through, we learned about all the judges their clothing and when we go more judges, we go to see the place where all the judges sit and a red room with all the previous judges.the value of the activity was to show us all the cool and interesting facts and other stuff about the supreme court, i do think this activity was effective it was really cool to see the chairs and the clothing, overall i give it a 8/10.

8. Bank of Canada inflation game The bank of Canada, at the bank of Canada we played a game showing how much inflation can be and how hard it can be depending of the life, i learned that even business owners can go into dept. The value was showing us it's not as easy as we think, this activity was totally effective by showing us the reality of live. I 100% recommend this activity it was a 10/10 experience.

9. Haunted walk The haunted walk, we learn all the creepy and weird stuff that has happened and the spirits that are still here, we learned the sightings and weird stuff people have experienced, its apart of history other then the wars and other stuff. The value is understanding that just because we can see it doesnt mean its not there. It wasn't really what i expected i thought it was gonna be a walk where people scare you like a haunted house almost, it was still cool to learn about the creepy stuff but i think i wasn't enjoying it as much because of that. It was an alright experience i recommend it if you love this stuff overall an 7/10. Press to return to table of contents!!

10. Montreal 2

11. Concordia University Tour The tour was very good, i actually enjoyed touring this university, we saw the big library with cubes in the middle of them that are soundproof and have whiteboard walls, we saw the big classrooms and the small classroom we saw the dorms which usually they don't show that, we saw the walls covered in plants and rooms for them to have fun with 3d printers, video games and more. The value is to show us the benefits they have for students, i also think the value is to show us colleges and universities early so we remember them, i think this was effective because they had a lot of good stuff that draws you, overall i give it a 10/10.

12. McCord Indigenous Museum The indigenous museum was so cool, they had a lot to show us, in the first room they had all the stuff they made like gambling dish, coats made of seal skin, they had like swaddles for babies, a bunch of cool stuff in the second room i was more serious, tiny paragraphs on the wall,The value was to show us their culture, i care deeply about indigenous I am apart of the wolf pack at my school which is are indigenous I think this was very effective because a lot of people don't know that much about the indigenous overall a 10/10 i think maybe one more indigenous activity would be nice.

13. Old Montreal Tour The tour was so cool seeing all different places, we saw the olympic stadium, and the city from a high point, we saw a bunch of cool buildings and learned some interesting stuff, the value was to just explore montreal and see the stuff we probably weren't gonna see,i think this was effective, overall i give this a 9/10 i liked how we traveled in the bus because, that day was pretty long already so we would have been beat by the end.

14. Notre Dame Basilica The big church, it was so beautiful, a room of lights and candles, really big, people praying just sitting taking it in, a room where people pray, it was truly so beautiful, we got a bunch of group photos here, the value i think was to just show us cause we didn't have a tour guide giving us a bunch of information, which i liked it better without. I think this activity was effective because it's something i probably wouldn't have visited if i went to montreal, overall i give it a 9/10.

15. Sugar Shack The sugar shack was a great place to eat and see how maple syrup is made, being in bancroft most people have sugar shacks so i was very familiar but it was still cool to see other peoples ways, it was very beautiful, the food was great too, it was a long day so i was feeling a bit exhausted but with all the music and everyone dancing it was very cool, we played spoons which i didn't really get but it's okay, the food we had soap and bread with mashed potatoes and other stuff. The value was to see how maple syrup is made and how long it takes them to make it, this was effective, overall a 9/10.

16. McGill University Mcgill University we had a personal tour, we saw their big field of stuff the library it was kinda a short tour because we didn't have full access to some stuff to see, we saw the trades workshop and the science and library, we walked all around it well the parts we could,the value id say is probably the same as the other one to introduce us early so we remember them, i think this was effective probably could've been better if we saw more but it's alright, overall 8/10.

17. Archeological Museum From the start i was not really digging it, i dont know why i think she gave to much information i just didnt click with this, thi activity was about the very beginning , they had like class floors and a sewer tunnel with lights to walk on, they had a bunch of stuff that was cool but i think she gave to much information and it wasnt that interactive, the value os this was to show us the roots of montreal from the very beginning i think it was effective i just think there was too much information overall a 5/10.

23.

25. Activist Museum The activist museum was cool,i would have preferred it without a guide, i like self learning but it's alright, also was a more relaxed day, it was cool to see all the paintings and stuff my favorite one to learn about was the black lives matter, it was super cool, they also had a bunch of like big things around the museum of like events that happened each year, the gift shops were really cool as well , the value well is obviously the big important events that happened , this activity was effective and overall i give it a 8.5/10.

26. This course was probably the best decision i made so far, i got to learn a whole credit in a month which challenged my online learning ability , it also showed me to use my other resources, i definitely recommend to other students, but i have to say even though the learning stuff was cool and fun my favorite part was bonding and creating friendships with awesome people and spending a week getting to know each other .
