While we read Into the Wild, here are a few short but important readings that pull offer some key ideas about ways of thinking about nature and place. In groups you will carefully read and discuss one set of readings. Make sure you understand them and be prepared to lead a discussion addressing difficult ideas, images or words, 2-3 key passages, and then a couple of guiding questions that connect this reading to other readings/ideas from the course.
You need to turn in a annotations for key passages, an outline of key ideas, a set 5-7 discussion questions including questions linking your texts to others in the course.
1. Garret Hardin "The Tragedy of the Commons" with 2 key passages to discuss with 10 examples
and this article, too.
2. Dr. Seuss' The Lorax vs the American Forest Products Council's The Truax, this comic and then perhaps an excursion into chat/blogs like this
3. Richard Louv introduction and excerpts from Last Child in the Woods and this one about NDD and ADHD and follow up article
4. Aldo Leopold "The Land Ethic" and the AL Foundation page
5. Joyce Carol Oates "Against Nature"
6. Sandra Steingraber Living Downstream excerpt with/against video Frontiers of the Future
