This is one of a series of units for environmental education developed by the Highline Public Schools. This unit is designed to assist sixth-grade students to increase their awareness and appreciation of their environment, and to develop their thinking and feelings concerning it by using creative writing. It is recommended that the seven lessons be spaced over a time span of about four weeks. Each lesson includes the concept of the lesson, materials needed, notes to the teacher, procedure, evaluation activities, and suggested additional activities. The materials were tried and evaluated; evaluation data may be obtained from the Highline Public Schools. (RH)
