Essay Instructions: Discuss Orr's argument for the relationship between Principles and Education.

Book titled: Earth in Mind By David W. Orr
these are the requirements and it should be a philisophical format essay
Choose ONE of the questions below and write a philosophical essay. Essay must be 3-4 pages, have a clear Thesis and offer a sound conclusion. Essays must also work closely with the course material, including Direct Citations. For example, "we cannot know the thing-in-itself" (Kant, p.859). While a misspelled word here and there will not count against your grade, if poor grammar makes it difficult to follow your argument your grade will reflect this fact. Remember, we have a Writing Center in the library that will work with you on your grammar. This is a good service even for those comfortable with writing. Have fun with this, but think critically about what you are saying and why.
