As Madison Percy Jones writes, \u201cwriting emerges out of the reciprocal interaction of writers and the complex rhetorical ecologies. Place is more than content for writing; it constitutes the conditions for writing itself.\u201d Indeed, as students write about and in place, they deepen their understanding of both the ecologies of rhetoric and the ecologies of places. For this activity, students engage with their natural surroundings to learn techniques for observation and naming.
