How have ecovillages and similar intentional communities in Canada or elsewhere
anticipated the crises the planet is now experiencing? What principles or values have they
chosen to live by? In what ways do these ways of life address/not address the challenges that
humans face in today’s world? Choose TWO of these ecovillages/intentional communities to
compare and contrast
You will need to:
(a) narrow your topic for what is a short essay (6–7 pages)
(b) come up with a thesis, perhaps phrased as a question that you want to answer.
(c) use a minimum of four sources (not including Wikipedia or dictionaries). At least two of
those sources should be academic journals. Be sure you are using credible sources such
as the ones we have used in class (in other words, don’t rely on brief newspaper articles
or Yahoo.com stories!).
(d) Be sure to include in-text citations in your essay and include a reference list. Follow MLA
or APA format using the Purdue OWL website if you need examples. There are also a
number of Youtube videos about formatting. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=22CPQoLE4U0 for a very helpful and clear demonstration of MLA format (including
how to create running heads, etc.)
