Find a compelling definition of science or nature. Make sure to meticulously document the source of this definition. NO DICTIONARY DEFINITIONS; HOWEVER, you may use as a “definition” a compelling, challenging CLAIM about science or nature that somehow describes or characterizes them, as long as your lens material provides critical vocabulary for you to use. Then choose the David Abram, Annie Dillard, or Walker Percy essay. Use this definition as a lens through which to read the essay. Write about what that lens reveals about the essay – its subject, its author, and maybe even the ideas or assumptions behind the essay: What does this definition reveal about the reading that you might otherwise miss? How does the definition itself shift in meaning or implication once you use it to take on the text you’ve chosen? Make use of your “close reading” skills; that is, choose one or more key passages to quote and analyze; this will help provide “evidence” to support your claims about, or interpretation of, the text. Write to an audience who have not read Dillard or Percy. That means you will have to practice your summarizing and paraphrasing skills as well.
