In Your Own Words ~ Informational Essays pg#1

"I think that my experiences at Hidden Villa have helped me be a better essay writer. When you learn something only from a textbook you have a limited understanding of the topic. You can't ask a textbook questions. I mean, you could, but it would just show you the same information over and over again. It's different when you go to Hidden Villa. For example, if you are studying animals, at Hidden Villa you can actually see what they look like in real life, how they move and where exactly they live. And then you can ask your guide all kinds of questions. Sometimes, you can even listen to or touch what you are studying. All these experiences gives you tons of information. Back in class, it’s good to write essays because you can get all the information you learned at Hidden Villa out of your brain in an organized way. If you don’t practice it anywhere you are going to forget all the information you learned! Besides, when you finish your essay it's fun to share it with friends and family so that they can see how much you learned on your field trip." - Kelsey and Salvador

	"I think Hidden Villa has helped me become a better writer because they inspire me to think of new ideas. Suddenly, by going there a thousand ideas pop into my brain. So when I then go back to school I can put my ideas into my paragraph and make it sound brilliant." - Liz
