Learning Goals
- Apply your understanding of Aldo Leopold's "Land Ethic" and environmental ethics to Rachel Carson's speech

Starter
Turn in your literary analysis essay with evidence of peer critique

Agenda
1. Time to finish the powerpoint and/or review

  • Intrinsic or Instrumental Value video
  • Finish last few definitions we didn't get through yesterday
  • Time to ask Ashley questions 

2. Test

3. Introduction to Personal Philosophy Statement and Art Piece

  • Ashley's Example
  • Another example: Watsky's spoken word poem: "Tiny Glowing Screens, Part 2":  This poem tells a depressing story about how the stars make us feel inadequate, about how — amongst seven billion people — each one of us is insignificant. However, upon closer look, Watsky seems to be trying to make meaning or find his purpose in the face of that feeling of inadequacy/insignificance. Think about how he defines meaning/purpose in this poem.
