Teaching Ideas: |
A collection often raises the question of how and why the editors selected the material for the book. Readers may wish to discuss this and what landscapes were chosen. Students could write a description about a time and place that is special to them, using snapshots if they have them. The reflective tone and poetic language of the book suggest the study of colorful detail and figurative language that enables a writer to recreate a scene on paper. |
