AGENDA
1. Intro to Sense of Place powerpoint

"A sense of place is the sixth sense, an internal compass and map made by memory and spatial perception together.” —Rebecca Solnit

PAIR SHARE:  Explain your selection(s) and why you chose it/them.

B. Sense of Place Essays from Orion Magazine


TOGETHER:  Read "Traverse City, MI" 
  • PAIR SHARE:  Which of the categories of sense of place seem to apply here?  What sort of relationship to the place does the author have?  How would you characterize his community attachment?  



JOURNAL #7 complete C and D below:

C. READ AT LEAST 2 MORE yourself, asking the same questions of each. (Which of the categories of sense of place seem to apply here?  What sort of relationship to the place does the author have?  How would you characterize his/her community attachment?)  Does the author reveal his/her environmental ethic?  Note your connections and observations in your journal.
