There are 2 options for the major assignment, due on Nov 29th 11:59PM EST time.
Option #1: Book or Film Review
The review can be of any book or film dealing with the class theme subject to the approval of the instructor. The review will be 7-10 pages typed, double-spaced. In the review, at least three sources should cited, and students can explore an environmental theme as it pertains to an ecological worldview in a film (feature film or documentary) or book of their choice.
Option #2: Journal
Students may wish, in lieu of a research paper or seminar, to prepare a written journal reflection with three parts.
Part 1: Reflection on a personal experience of nature or the wilderness and how it shaped your own worldview(s).
Part 2: A reflection on an older person’s perspective concerning his or her understanding of nature, changes in the environmental situation over this person’s life and this person’s ecological worldview.
Part 3: Reflection on two class readings which most clearly speak to your own ecological worldview and why.
Each part should be 3-4 pages typed, double-spaced. The entire journal should thus be no more than 15 pages.
