Learning place through art and stories

The place writing that we have each included in the first part of this book was integral to the place pedagogy work with our secondary teacher education students. This chapter is the story of those students learning place pedagogy through translating it into their own teaching practices. We included earlier versions of our place writing in the readings we gave them to launch their own re-thinking of place and their relation to it. We will focus in particular on the way two of our students translated their new ideas about place into work with their own school students in surprising, original and creative ways.
