Students will examine works of nature literature from historical as well as contemporary authors. Text forms range from poems, essays, and short stories to novels and visual texts.  Students will improve their skills in the Language Arts standards in reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Specifically, students will be expected to analyze themes, story elements, and author craft in texts; participate in collaborative discussions; and write formal and informal pieces.
