Ecocomposition is about writing about place. The writer situates herself in the place and writes about her surroundings. It is gaining momentum as environmentalism becomes more popular.
It aims to inject pathos back into FYC.
You can have students journal-write about a place, explore the metaphors we use to talk about nature and push those metaphors to their limits, and explore how the subject is in the place and the place is in the subject. Students can read John Muir and Thoreau.
