  • “The Healing Power of Nature: Finding Beauty, Wonder, and Connection in the Natural World”

    In the hustle and bustle of our modern lives, it’s easy to forget the quiet majesty that surrounds us every day: the beauty of nature. From the gentle rustle of leaves in the wind to the vibrant hues of a sunset painting the sky, nature offers an endless array of wonders that captivate the soul and nourish the spirit.
    One of the most enchanting aspects of nature is its ability to inspire awe and wonder. Whether standing in the shadow of a towering mountain peak, gazing out across a vast expanse of ocean, or wandering through a dense forest teeming with life, there is something inherently humbling about being in the presence of such grandeur. In these moments, we are reminded of our place in the world, connected to something much larger and more profound than ourselves.
    But the beauty of nature is not just found in its vast and dramatic landscapes. It can also be found in the smallest of details – the delicate petals of a flower, the intricate patterns of a snowflake, or the graceful flight of a butterfly. It is in these moments of quiet observation that we can truly appreciate the exquisite craftsmanship of the natural world, marveling at its infinite complexity and diversity.
    Beyond its aesthetic appeal, nature also has a profound impact on our well-being. Numerous studies have shown that spending time in nature can reduce stress, improve mood, and increase feelings of happiness and vitality. Whether it’s taking a leisurely stroll through a park, going for a hike in the mountains, or simply sitting and watching the clouds drift by, immersing ourselves in the sights, sounds, and smells of the natural world can have a profoundly calming and rejuvenating effect on both body and mind.
    Furthermore, nature has a remarkable ability to foster a sense of connection and community. Whether it’s through shared experiences like camping trips or outdoor adventures, or simply by coming together to appreciate the beauty of a sunset or the majesty of a starry sky, nature has a way of bringing people together and reminding us of our shared humanity.
    In a world that often seems chaotic and divided, the beauty of nature offers a source of solace and inspiration, reminding us of the simple joys and wonders that surround us each and every day. So let us take the time to pause, to breathe, and to open our hearts to the beauty that lies all around us, for in doing so, we may find a deeper sense of peace, purpose, and connection to the world we call home.

  • “The Power of Conformity: Examining its Impact on Community in The Giver and in Real Life” “The Power of Effective Body Paragraphs: A Conclusion to Persuasive Writing”

    Describe how conformity affects the community in the novel The Giver. Choose one specific example and discuss it in detail. This can be a positive or negative example of conformity. Make an argument about whether that example of conformity is helpful or harmful to their community and why. Then, make a connection to your life. What’s one positive or negative example of conformity or groupthink in a community that you’re part of? Describe that community, the instance of conformity, and whether that example of conformity is helpful or harmful to your community and why.
    Essay #2 Outline
    You can use simple statements (or full sentences). You will use this information to write your first draft. DO NOT WRITE COMPLETE PARAGRAPHS.
    I. INTRODUCTION: 
    HOOK: Use a specific technique from the class notes. Write something interesting about community, groupthink, conformity, or The Giver.
    BACKGROUND: Give information about the book and author; connect to the prompt and give general information about the essay topics (conformity, groupthink, community).
    THESIS STATEMENT: “Answer” the prompt in one or two clear sentences that connect the prompt, The Giver, and you! This thesis should mention (but not explain or describe in detail!) conformity OR groupthink in the book and your life, and make a claim (argument) about it being helpful or harmful for the community.
    When writing your thesis options below, use the same ONE IDEA, but write it in two different ways. Do not write two separate thesis statements each with different ideas. Option 1:
    Option 2:
    II. BODY
    Body Paragraph # 1- Remember, you are only allowed one direct quote sandwich in this section, but you need to provide page numbers to all references in the book (all evidence). 
    Topic Sentence: introduces content in the paragraph. You should mention which specific example of conformity OR groupthink you will write about and whether it was helpful or harmful to the community in the Giver.
    Supporting Idea 1 (further explains topic sentence. Describe the specific example of conformity OR groupthink in more detail.) 
    Specific evidence/example from the book to demonstrate groupthink or conformity. Use a direct quote (include page number).
    Commentary (your turn to explain the evidence from the direct quote above and connect it to your topic sentence). Expand into multiple sentences as necessary!   
    Supporting Idea 2 (Argue if that example of conformity OR groupthink is helpful or harmful to their community and why.) 
    Commentary (your turn to explain the supporting detail above and connect it back to your topic sentence). Expand into multiple sentences as necessary! 
    Concluding Sentence/Transition (Connect back to your topic sentence and/or thesis. A good technique for the end of a body paragraph is to conclude this paragraph and transition into your next idea [make a link with your next topic sentence].) 
    Body Paragraph #2 – Remember, there is no need for a quote sandwich in this paragraph. Write about your real life situations.
    Topic Sentence: Transition from the previous paragraph and briefly mention your experience with conformity OR groupthink and whether that was helpful or harmful for your community .
    Supporting Idea 1 (Describe the specific example of conformity OR groupthink in more detail.) 
    Specific evidence (What details/examples  will you provide?) 
    Further details and commentary on the evidence above. Connect it back to your topic sentence and expand into multiple sentences as necessary! 
    Supporting Idea 2 (Argue if that example of conformity OR groupthink is helpful or harmful to your community and why.) 
    Specific evidence (What details/examples will you provide?)
    Further details and commentary on the evidence above. Connect it back to your topic sentence and expand into multiple sentences as necessary!
    Concluding Sentence (Connect it back to your topic sentence and/or thesis. A good technique for your last body paragraph is to simply conclude your ideas; no transition is needed in your last body paragraph.)
    CONCLUSION
    Thesis restatement. Remind the reader what you have written about so far. (Rewrite your thesis with the same ideas and use new words, but do not copy it.)  
    Provide final thoughts. Will you use a forecast; a broader implication; present a call to action; express a hope or desire? Review the notes on Canvas.
