Writing About The Natural World Around You

  1. Go somewhere into the natural world (the more natural the better) – for at least 30 minutes, but should be an hour or more;
  2. Have no agenda
  3. You CANNOT have your cell phone on (although you can have it with you if you are concerned with safety) no exceptions
  4. Explore, play, loiter, do anything, something or nothing;
  5. You can be alone, with another classmate, or anybody you want.
  6. Write an essay explaining:
  • What you thought about the assignment before you did the activity? (this should be written before you do the activity)
  • What you did?
  • How the activity did, or did not match your expectations?
  • What you gained from it, if anything.
