Falling in Love with Nature and Fighting for It: Inspiring Argument Writing Through Everyday Encounters with Nature
Jodi teaches sixth-grade English at Yorba Linda Middle School. As part of the California Writing Project Environmental Literacy and Justice Initiative, Jodi created and taught a unit that pairs wonder and nature writing with formulating opinions and argument writing. Her students first connect with nature through a variety of nature writing opportunities, then students use that connection to inspire both argument writing and artistic expression.
"When you’re talking about environmental justice, kids need to feel like they can do something. It needs to move to the place where they feel like they have power to make change." – Jodi Bonk
