Even using globes and photographs, they should not find this easy. Ask them to explain how the perception of a flat earth would change the way in which they viewed the world. Show the class a photo of the earth from space. This image has metaphoric resonance. This activity could range from being a quick sketch to an in-depth landscape.
Students then create a work of art which expresses the relation between themselves and nature.
The important aspect of this step is how the student visualizes or interprets his or her personal relationship with the earth. Next, there should be a class discussion in which students present their works, including process work. The use of appropriate vocabulary should be encouraged. Introduce terms such as connectedness, wholeness, and web of life. Have students attempt to illustrate what came out of this discussion, either individually or in small groups.
