This course encourages participants to observe their surroundings with heightened senses, learning to translate the sights, sounds, and sensations of nature into vivid, evocative prose. Through descriptive writing exercises and poetry, students will discover how to bring the environment to life. Imagine putting into words the calm of a forest glade, the fierce energy of a storm, or the quiet stillness of a sunrise. The class will emphasize the importance of capturing not just what is seen, but also the feelings and connections that nature evokes within us. ETSU employees may use employee audit.
