Reflective
The purpose of this first essay is for you to tell us a little about where you're coming from, literally, in terms of the environment. Because it's a story, a kind of writing we're all very familiar with, and because I'd like to get some writing from everyone quickly, we will not be doing a draft and workshop as we will with the rest of the essays this quarter. You can use “I” and less formal language than we'll use in later papers, but I still want the writing to be crafted, especially in terms of sensory detail. You also must make some kind of point about your relation to the environment, and incorporate at least one of the course readings. Four page minimum.
