MEC 10/31

Prompt from last week (due this week): What did Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings mean when she said the Corss Creek and the landscape were part of her? How was that different, and why, from her relationship to New York?

Hi everyone--

There is another cold front moving in on Wednesday, so it will be windy tomorrow (people who have taken the intro fieldcraft course will know why...). So we'll meet in the classroom tomorrow. We will be discussing Sarah Vowell's essay and plans for the star party.

I am getting behind in my blog updates, for which I apologize!

Remember that we are meeting to finish the movie tomorrow. The prompt draft that is due this week is a comparison of your home landscape to the of the movie, "Cross Creek." (the Monday tutorial group is, as always, one week behind).

The finished draft due this week will be your backstory to the short story.
The edited draft will be the short story.

Cheers!

Please read the next five chapters of Goodbye to a River. 


Anyone have suggestions for where to meet? I have an idea for an experiment. Let's meet again at the Ranching Heritage Center. Bring something comfortable for sitting on the grass, and any water you might need. I will be leaving from the Honors College at 2:05 if anyone wants to ride bikes over there with me.
