Indy Teach ROUGH Outline


*The important ideas my individual teaching will center on are; How can we use nature to enrich the writing experience and what are the different ways nature can inspire creativity in the classroom?
* The activity the book focuses on is one large activity in which students track the moon through its 28 day cycle and then create journal entries involving various creative works (poetry, sketches, prose, etc). Since our classroom will not have 28 days to create a journal, I am thinking that our activities will be something involving creative writing involving nature. One thing we can definitley do is look at works done by other authors on the topic.

This sounds like a good start Katey. I will be curious to see how you incorporate writing with the outside world and with nature in the activity you create for us. It will be fun to read your synopsis of the text as well. Good luck as you continue with your planning.
