What does a sense of place mean? Do you have such a place, and if so, where is it? Do you think a sense of place is important? What would you do to protect that place?
What will be an ideal response?
To identify a sense of place that is worth protecting is an important insight into understanding why we need to protect the larger environment. A brief discussion of "if" and "where" could open that discussion for the student. Most people have someplace they want to protect. The key will be for the student to make connections between his/her place and the larger environment as "place." Aldo Leopold based his land ethic on a "sense of place".
