1 Name: Period: Your Heart Park Celebrating Who You Are and What You Hold Dear Objective: Based on personal interests and talents, students will brainstorm, create a rough draft, and then publish a final draft of a metaphorical map and key. This map will feature at minimum eight locations (or attractions ) that could be visited by a tourist who was taking a stroll to see all the features found on the map. After reading one another s maps and keys, other students and classroom visitors should know eight amazing or interesting things about the creator of each map. These will be displayed for a lengthy amount of time. Do your best work. First, brainstorm all the different types of parks that exist. Who can come up with the largest number of different, legitimate parks out there? Be creative. Write your list below in this white space. Second, brainstorm as many nouns (persons, places, things, or ideas) that you hold dear in your own heart. Remember, everyone is and should be uniquely different. If everyone is going to say something common, like pizza, try not to have that on your list. Don t be afraid to be personal. Use the space below for your list. Your task: Based on the shape of a heart, you will be designing a map to a metaphorical park that features places of interest for visiting tourists to stop and enjoy themselves: 1. Consult your list of park types. Circle two or three that you could create metaphorically based on your personal interests. 2. Consult your list of things you hold dear to your heart. Circle any that you think would make an interesting feature or attraction for others to come enjoy during their leisure or vacation time.
2 Planning Park Attractions Based on your Interests The goal of this map/park project is to help others learn about what you are interested in and what you love without directly telling them. You will need to creatively design eight attractions that will fit inside the borders of your Heart Park. If a fellow-student or classroom visitor examined your park s map and read the two- or threesentence description of each park attraction/feature, your classmate would be able to make an intelligent guess about things that you love and hold dear. For example, if I was designing a National Park and two of things I love are my two little dogs, then I might create an attraction that is based on my dogs. My dogs are both Westies, and because I am designing a natural park, I might create a series of petroglyphs my visitors could come see that show off an imaginary ancient culture s love of the Westie breed. If I was designing a Water Park, my attraction might be The Westie Whirlpool Ride, where visitors on tubes could spin and spin while the sounds of Westies barking comes through the loudspeakers non-stop. If I was designing a Skate Park, my attraction might be a special area of the park where I could do my Walk the Dog trick. Okay, I really can t do that particular trick, but my park visitors could use the space. Before you brainstorm specific attractions, you might want to think about this requirement: You will be the founder of your park, and you will need to include a brief description at the top of your map about how you came to create this fictional park. Be creative. Be, Be, Be creative. Use another piece of paper, if needed. My State Park s name: Harrison s Hidden State Park My park s introduction--rough draft: Your Park s name: Your park s introduction--rough draft: While searching the wilderness for the perfect place to do some Sacred Writing, Mr. Harrison stumbled across this area, an undiscovered natural gem, in With funding approved by Congress, he established this State Park for those who appreciate nature and like to write about it. A day s visit to this natural wonderland will give you topics to write about for a long time to come. The next two pages will help you brainstorm and write about your fictional park s imaginary attractions. Please look closely at the rough draft worksheet I created on the next page for my attractions at my Heart Park.
3 Teacher Model: From Mr. Harrison Something I love/hold dear My wife Dena My dogs two Westies An attraction I might design/tourist description for my map: Attraction name: Dena Delta This beautiful landmark will bring smiles to all visitors who visit. A rich deposit of soil has made an abundance of things grow and thrive. Named for the park s founder s wife, this was reportedly his favorite place to come and contemplate. Attraction name: Westie Falls Need a relaxing place to bring your favorite book and read? Come sit by this beautiful 100-foot waterfall and enjoy the sounds of nature. Animals in the area are very friendly, and they may nudge you if they think you re paying more attention to your book instead of them. My Writer s Notebooks Good ghost stories Drawing Mr. Stick John Steinbeck Cooperative Video Games The Walking Dead TV show Attraction name: Notebook Butte When hiking up this notable mountain, be sure to bring your writer s notebook with you. When you make your way to the top, we know you ll have an inspirational idea ready to write down. Draw a picture or tape in something you found on your hike to make your notebook page a butte. Attraction name: Ghostly Geyser Park founder Mr. Harrison loved a good spooky story. Each evening, park rangers gather at the amphitheater near this geyser and tell their favorite ghost stories. Don t be surprised if you see a spooky apparition on your walk back to your car. Attraction name: Petroglyph Forest An easy, stroller-friendly hike to ancient petroglyphs, most likely drawn by the Cuzbiscuit Tribe who once hunted this land. See how even the simplest of drawings can help you interpret an interesting story. Challenge yourself to master the art of petroglyph drawings with art supplies available to hikers. Attraction name: Steinbeck Redwood Grove Named for one of Harrison s favorite authors who professed his love of redwood trees in Travels with Charley. Stroll among these ancient trees and see if you experience the same splendor John Steinbeck wrote about. Please don t salute the trees or you will be fined. Attraction name: Videogame Valley Trail Need a beautiful hike with the person you love? The videogame valley trail celebrates cooperative hiking by only allowing partners and small groups to hike together. Try out some interesting walking combinations for bonus points at trail s end (hint: A + A + X + B = 50 pt. bonus) Attraction name: Undead Caverns The aforementioned Cuzbiscuit Tribe had an unusual interest in zombies, and they buried their dead in this limestone cavern, superstitiously believing the limestone walls prevented the dead from returning to life. Walk the zombie-friendly trails below the earth. Don t let the echoes frighten you there s not really something behind you, after all.
4 Name: Student worksheet for brainstorming/drafting (continue on another piece of paper, if necessary) Something I love/hold dear An attraction I might design/tourist description for my map: 1. Attraction name: 2. Attraction name: 3. Attraction name: 4. Attraction name:
5 5. Attraction name: 6. Attraction name: 7. Attraction name: 8. Attraction name: These descriptions should be considered rough drafts. When you have them all drafted, start thinking about how you might make them even more interesting (through language use and details) to attract visitors to stop and enjoy your fictional park s fictional features.
6 Start designing what your park will look like: The important thing about your heart park is that it must be inspired by the shape of an actual heart. This means you may simply shape it like a heart, or you may creatively integrate the shape/concept of a heart to create your park s border/boundary. Your teacher should show you a PowerPoint that displays people creatively using heart shapes to build or create something interesting. Hopefully, this will inspire you to think creatively as you design the map to your park. Below, sketch out an idea for what your park will be shaped like.
7 Finally, with your rough draft descriptions, and your sketch of your map, you need to put all the elements together to create a neat, thoughtful and worthy-of-being-displayed final product. These Heart Parks will hang in our hallways for most of the school year. Make sure yours stands out. Make sure yours tells your classmates what kind of work they can expect to see from you this school year. Rubric Criteria: Student s name is proudly displayed. Park name & park concept Park s introduction (3- to 4- sentences) 8 attraction write-ups (2-sentence minimum; 3- sentences suggested) Design & use of images/drawings to show off what the student holds dear Creativity Purpose Rubric for Heart Parks A-work (outstanding) The student s first name (last name optional) stands out prominently on the park map so that others will easily know who created this fine project. Perhaps the student s name has even been worked creatively into the name of the park. The student has created a very unique idea for a park with a clever name. A well-written introduction explains how the fictional park was founded using good language skills and details. Every write-up uses great details and language skills to entice potential visitors to come see each feature of your fictional park. It s very obvious the author put thought and effort into the visual design of the park map. Exceptional use of creativity to tie all the elements of this map together. If this map was shared with another student, the reader would be able to accurately infer almost all of the interests the map s creator based his/her attractions on. B-work (acceptable but some missed creative opportunities) It takes some searching, but the student s name can eventually be found in the writing. The student could have been cleverer with how they integrated their name into the project. The student has created a somewhat unique idea for a park with a clever title. The introduction is interesting, but perhaps another draft would have helped make the writing be outstanding. Most of the write-ups use great details and language use to entice potential visitors to explore your park. It s sort of obvious the author put thought and effort into the visual design of the park map. Pretty good use of creativity to tie all the elements of this map together. If this map was shared with another student, the reader would be able to accurately infer more than half of the interests the map s creator based his/her attractions on. C-work or lower (Not a very good way to start the new school year) The student s name is on the back side of the project or it isn t present. Looking at the map doesn t easily reveal who the project belongs to. The park idea and the title are kind of predictable or unoriginal. The introduction is present but it sounds like a piece of rough draft writing, not a polished idea. Most of the write-ups feel more like rough draft writing, not polished descriptions. The visual looks sloppy and was probably a rushed effort by this student. It s difficult to pinpoint much that is creative or unique in this map & park presentation. If this map was shared with another student, the reader would be able to accurately infer less than half of the interests the map s creator based his/her attractions on.
