Introduction This environmental sampler was developed by the JCPS Center for Environmental Education and the UL Center for Environmental Education to serve two purposes. First, to provide UL Honors Colleges students with a creative way to think about their course content relating to environmental issues, and the opportunity to express their knowledge in forms (genres) that were new to them. Second, to use the work of the UL Honors College students to provide information to middle school students about their local environment in forms (genres) that they would be learning to use as a part of their middle school writing curriculum, as well as providing reading material that supports the middle school reading core content. This sampler contains representative writing pieces selected from the entire document, Louisville’s Environmental Reader: Exploring Local Issues, Events, and Experiences. It can be found at www.jefferson.kyschools.us/ee and www.louisville.edu/education/research/centers/environmental-ed The website not only contains many additional pieces of writing about our local environment, but a section of teacher resources. Community members will also find this reading informative and thought provoking. This project is an example of how members of the Partnership for a Green City work together to promote environmental literacy both for schools and community. The Partnership is made up of Jefferson County Public Schools, the University of Louisville, and Louisville Metro Government. These institutions together have a tremendous impact on our community, and strive to make Louisville Metro a “greener” city through the partnership.
