Read the 3 student examples in this folder and as you do, jot down notes in your journal that answer these questions under the heading "Student Critiques":

• 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. WORK TIME!
