This morning, my Writing About Place class tagged along with photography and art history classes to the Foret de Cedres - cedar forest - up beyond Bonnieux. The drive up the mountain, despite the adventure of sitting in the back of a transit van, was beautiful as we wound through trees and looked out over the Luberon valley. Once we explored the forest enough to find a suitable classroom, we talked about the pieces we'd been reading, our ideas for travel articles, and a prompt for a small writing exercise.
Yesterday, my Business and Professional Writing class (all four of us) got in on a field trip to Oppède le Vieux, where a hike up the hill brought us to a chapel and the ruins of a thirteenth-century fort. Was it relevant to our course? Nope. Was it a great idea? Yes. And tomorrow we'll discuss writing in the workplace while we hike through the vineyards of the Luberon valley to Bonnieux.
