Day Six

Situation: Rolling Thunder XX event

Metacognitive Strategies: I planned this field trip by going to the organization's website to get the time and location. I accessed a website for a map of downtown DC to determine which subway station was closest to the planned stakeout. Afterwards, I evaluated the field trip and decided that I would definitely take more water next time and a thicker blanket for resting and picniking.

Task-Based Strategies: Once we reached the Metro station, I had to calculate the cost of adding value to an existing SmarTrip card versus buying a new SmarTrip card versus buying a farecard. I used the information that the farecard machine and SmarTrip machines gave me to make my decision. (There was a lot of self-talk going on here.)
