On the Trail of the Romantics Self-Guided Nature Walk

 

 

Due--Wednesday, May 19, 2010 (10 points possible)

 

A suggested SCC itinerary follows, but in the pristine spirit of Romanticism, you may discover your own.

 

Note: While walking collect in your memory sights, sounds, aromas, feelings, insights.

 

A suggested itinerary:

 

Let your walk take you between the Lair and the Library, past the Agricultural Sciences Building, to the river path (you will find its entry near the used-brick Administration Building), along the river path for a bit, up from the river path near the Health Sciences Building, to the center of the SCC Commons—the amphitheater (the Alien Landing Pad).  Spend a bit of time there communing.

 

Then, in the spirit of the Romantics, craft a poem of at least eight lines (two 4-line stanzas would do) to commemorate one or more aspects of your Nature Walk experience. 

 

Suggestion: You might begin creating your poem while you walk or as you commune.

 

Bring your poem to class to share.
