  • An Annotated Bibliography of Environmental Readings, Featuring Oregon Writers, for Middle School and High School Students
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Carole Ann Crateau for the degree of Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies in English, English, and Forest Resources presented on June 8, 1994. Title: Time to Listen: An Annotated Bibliography of Environmental Readings, Featuring Oregon Writers, for Middle School and High School Students. Redacted for Privacy Abstract approved: The purpose of this annotated bibliography is to guide middle school and high school students into critical thinking about environmental issues. Through keen observation of their bioregion and through an integration of interdisciplinary literature which focuses on Oregon writers, students will be challenged to think, write, and discuss current issues effecting local natural resources. The bibliography was designed to incorporate integrated learning, collaborative activities, and hands- on investigation. The students' community becomes a learning laboratory, a place in which to identify, a place to value, and a place to contribute through active participation in restoration of resources and through other positive activities. Learning to respect diverse and complex viewpoints on environmental issues will help develop good evaluative skills. As responsible, participating members of their community, students can be encouraged to lead the way, providing good role models both to families and to younger students. The diverse literary collection will provide access to a broad range of voices about the land and Oregon, in particular. These become invitations for students to write about their place, their home. Writing empowers students to make connections between experience, thought, and word. Students writing, thinking, and reseeing their community as a place to value and protect is the goal of Time to Listen.
