Lecture: Travel Writing as a Career Part 1
Pre-Trip Discussion: Judith Vollmer's Reactor, AWP Chronicle interview
Workshop exercises 2-6
Trip to Turtle Creek Watershed, Trafford, Westinghouse
During today's trip, you'll do a modified version of exercise #12. Collect in your notebook: bits of dialogue; luminous details for development of scene and character; sensory descriptions; aha! moments.
At home: Do exercise #16 (present and past tense). Write one piece based on today's trip and bring for workshop during our next class. Set up your own travel blog (using Blogger/www.blogspot.com) and post your pieces, thoughts, notes. Send me your blog address and I'll link your blog to the class blog.
