As part of my work in Antarctica I
developed a "Writing About Place" curriculum for use by teachers of

approaches to writing about the land. The exercises below are meant to
offer discrete opportunities for looking at the land in different ways
and for describing experiences with it. Please see the "Antarctic
Picture Gallery" for the visual "One Inch Windows" that also helped me
see Antarctica with new eyes. Click on the topics below and you'll
find sample mini-essays and
writing assignments:
