Starter #39
1. VISUAL PIECE for exhibition: If you haven't already, open the assignment I emailed you in GOOGLE CLASSROOM to send me a copy of your visual piece.  Attach the file  and send it to me VIA that GOOGLE CLASSROOM assignment.  If you are reading your Happiness and Meaning philosophy, you need to send me your visual piece for that. If you are reading your Sense of Place essay, send me an image that best captures your sense of place or the main idea of your writing piece. 

2. WRITING SKILLZ:  Review the folder of writing issue mini-lessons:  https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B2QC-culCKvHQjF6cjk4cktwUzA&usp=sharing&tid=0B2QC-culCKvHZ0psLXdPZ1ZkZkk
Directions:

• Take this time to peruse the folder that contains handouts on various writing issues that were common in the first drafts of your essay.  Skim the titles and read over a couple handouts on the skills you most need to develop in your writing. 
• Write down which writing issues you need to focus the most on and pledge to use these as a resource when editing your sense of place writing piece this week

3. Have you written your abstract for your sense of place piece yet? It's pretty simple and should be a paragraph at the top of your paper....

Directions for the Abstract:
Your essay must include an abstract that explains how you are defining sense of place according to the categories of sense of place (what type of relationship and/or community attachment do you show in the essay) and what your environmental ethic is. Your abstract should include a quote from your essay that best shows both of these components.
