9/17 MEC

Homework prompt: Find a place of open space and solitude. Explore your response to it. Do you like it? Dislike it? Why? Ground your description of the place in the landscape (that is, what makes it "here" and not someplace else?)

No mp3s, no cell phones--just your notebook and a pen to write your thoughts while you are there. Then write it up as an essay response to give to your tutorial groups.

For next week's discussion, read "The Blue of Distance," by Rebecca Solnit, in your course packet.
