The purpose of this annotated bibliography is to guide middle school and
high school students into critical thinking about environmental issues. Through
keen observation of their bioregion and through an integration of interdisciplinary
literature which focuses on Oregon writers, students will be challenged to think,
write, and discuss current issues effecting local natural resources. The bibliography
was designed to incorporate integrated learning, collaborative activities, and handson
investigation.
The students' community becomes a learning laboratory, a place in which to
identify, a place to value, and a place to contribute through active participation in
restoration of resources and through other positive activities. Learning to respect
diverse and complex viewpoints on environmental issues will help develop good
evaluative skills. As responsible, participating members of their community,
students can be encouraged to lead the way, providing good role models both to
families and to younger students.
The diverse literary collection will provide access to a broad range of voices
about the land and Oregon, in particular. These become invitations for students to
write about their place, their home. Writing empowers students to make
connections between experience, thought, and word. Students writing, thinking,
and reseeing their community as a place to value and protect is the goal of Time to
