About This Lesson
Students will examine humans’ impact on the land by comparing the portrayal of the land in By June the Light Begins to Breathe to paintings by Karen Kitchel, Albert Bierstadt, and/or Ernest Blumenschein (all found on Creativity Resource). They will then use their insights to inform a creative writing piece on the subject.
I like the inferencing required by this lesson--it will take several days though.
