Welcome to Environmental English, what I will often refer to as Eco-Lit.
Eco-literacy is an interactive English class that combines Language Arts learning objectives and technical composition skills with eco-based literature and assessment. The course analyzes various texts and their influence and/or relation to the reader and the natural world. Students will engage in various authentic learning opportunities that prepare the student for essential 21st century skills. Discussions will focus on the individual (self-awareness), the environment (awareness, preservation, consumption, conservation, advocacy, etc.) and the coexistence of the two.
Please familiarize yourself with the syllabus (see link below), share it with your parent(s) and/or guardian(s) and sign and return the Syllabus slip to me on or before August 26th. This is the first expectation of the class.
