Assignment 3


I would first talk with the class about nature and maybe introduce some new vocabulary to help describe nature. Talk about how using our senses will help describe what it is we experience in nature. Of course poetry would be a main topic, since they are to write a poem about nature.
After discussions, take the students out on a field trip into real nature (or out to the playground, if it is not possible to get to real nature). While each student is observing, they will have their journals to take notes of what their senses are experiencing.
When the class gets back, they get to write a draft, using their notes that were taken on the trip.
After final writing, they get to share with the class, so that they all see how different people experience different things while in nature.
