Land Use and Lawmaking in California

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Students read writings by Ralph Waldo Emerson to analyze transcendentalism and analyze photographic essays depicting environmental issues. For this art and history lesson, students read excerpts of Nature by Emerson to identify transcendentalism. Students use pinhole cameras to create a photographic essay that depicts a local natural environment. Students create three photographs from different perspectives and write statements for the essays.
