Class

Nature Writing (for ages 15 to 18)

This multi-genre class will investigate the centuries-long connection between the word and the natural world. How do you interpret nature? How do you connect to it? Is there a connection between human nature and the natural world?

In an age that further isolates us from the natural world, we will explore the importance of valuing and protecting our environment, getting outside, and writing to our natural world. We'll explore both contemporary and classic texts.

The final project will be a small portfolio of poetry and/or prose. All reading materials are free and accessible. All you need to bring is your imagination!
