Together, make a list of all the colors, shapes, natural and built features they found during their landscape viewing activity. Discuss the list in a manner that heightens student awareness of what is in or can be seen from their schoolyard. Once the students have created a list of schoolyard landscape features, ask them how the landscapes made them feel. Record responses, encouraging students to explain themselves in as much detail as they wish. Ask students to speculate as to the reasons for their responses to different landscapes.
Names often provide insight into past experiences and values that inform one's sense of place.
