EDC-5280.SB: The Ecology of Imagination in Childhood

This course investigates ways in which children’s nature play can be used to invigorate the writing process. Making forts, hunting and gathering, constructing small worlds, going on adventures, and fantasy play are children’s instinctive ways of being in the natural world and these activities can be used as the basis for curriculum. We’ll use the surrounding neighborhood, beach and hills to reconnect the childhood play. Out of these natural world experiences, each participant will craft a finished piece of writing by the end of the week.
