Abstract	A lesson in writing stresses that pupils can choose what to write about in a nature setting. Answers to numerous questions arising when involving pupils in writing can be found in this activity, including: (1) how to motivate learners to write; (2) whether to teach specific writing skills as they write; (3) what guidance and assistance to offer on choosing a topic; (4) how to appraise pupils' writing; and (5) how to respect and encourage pupils' feeling dimension in writing. A student teacher and a cooperating teacher, working as a team, planned a unit on writing about nature, using as their resource a nature area directly outside their elementary school building. Here students, notebook and pencil in hand, were taken on an excursion to observe the out-of-doors. Using their observations on a rabbit's swiftness, individually and in small groups, pupils came up with rhyming couplets, triplets, quatrains, and even a limerick. Pupils had previously studied, read, and written different kinds of verse in group settings. (CR)
