Read 2 of the 4 student examples and as you do, jot down notes in your journal that answer these questions:
  • What is this student's environmental ethic?
  • Does he/she use elements of the “Grand Style” to SHOW the place to the reader?  (at least two of the following should be present: metaphor, simile, analogy, alliteration, assonance, onomatopoeia, sensory images like sight, taste, touch, sound, smell).  QUOTE the lines from the writing and explain which element of the Grand Style it uses.
  • Overall, what is your reaction to this piece? Do you like it? What specifically do you like? What questions did it raise for you?  

3. Turn in your journal (be sure each entry is numbered): LIST OF JOURNAL REQUIREMENTS
