Have you ever visited a chamber or met someone you read about? Well I have during my field trip to the “Westchester County Board of Legislators”.  I met a chairman called Benjamin Boykin.  In this blog post I will share two things I learned and two things I enjoyed doing.  If you want to learn more about my field trip, please continue reading my blog.

Two things I learned when we were in the “Legislative Branch of Country Government” were that when legislators vote they first discuss the topic and then after everyone understands the situation, each legislator decides to vote either yey or ney (yey= I think this should be a law, and ney = I don’t think this should be a law). Another thing I learned is that in every vote, someone from the public will be selected to be a public speaker. The person who got picked for the public speaker can vote with the legislators.

In this blog I wrote about what I did, what I learned and who I met. Honestly , this field trip was my favorite out of all of the field trips I ever went to in my whole life. Even though I know that in middle school there will be field trips that will prove to be more entertaining, I still want to have this field trip again because it is both entertaining and educational. Would you want to have this field trip?

I chose my region very fast because I knew the most about the Middle Colonies. I took most of my notes in my Social Studies notebook . I chose slide show because both the poster and the infographic both did not have enough room.
I took most of my notes on Ducksters. Sometimes the info wasn’t exact.
My final project was a slideshow. I picked slideshow because both the poster and the infographic both did not have enough room. Sometimes my projects looked a little goofy and I didn’t know how to fix it. I enjoyed making the slide show because there were cool features that we could use. I think research was the most challenging because I always had too much of this, too little on this and in general it was really unsteady. If I could go back I would change the pictures because the food looked pretty gross and I think some readers might feel uncomfortable.
Here is my slideshow:
Thank you for watching.
