CRWR 0174 - Environ/Adventure Writing
Get Outdoors! Environmental and Adventure Writing in the Digital Age
In this course we will explore the environmental and adventure narrative. Equipped with laptop, camera, and audio and video recorders-the tools of today's writers- each student will undertake an investigation in the Middlebury area (anything from wind energy to local hunting), then sharpen their skills as writers, focusing on setting, character, and narrative thread. We will read from a wide selection of authors including Jack London, Joe Kane, Ernest Hemingway, Gretel Ehrlich, Peter Matthiessen, Robyn Davidson, and Jack Kerouac. Students will explore the line between fiction and nonfiction as they incorporate their own experience with interviews, photos, and audio and video files in their final written and digital projects. (Students will need a laptop, camera, and a small hard drive to house Final Cut Pro files for video editing.) (Not open to students who have taken INTD 1105) 3 hrs. lect./3 hrs. lab

INTD 1105 - Adventure Writing
Adventure Writing & Digital Storytelling
In this class we will explore the adventure narrative in the digital age. Equipped with laptop, camera, audio recorder, and/or video camera--the tools of today's investigative journalists--students will undertake their own adventure in the Middlebury area (anything from dog sledding to ice-fishing on Lake Champlain), then sharpen their skills as writers, focusing on setting, character, history, and narrative thread. In addition to blogs and essays, we will read from adventure books such as Joe Kane’s Running the Amazon and Robyn Davidson's Tracks, and write in the adventure-travel genre, incorporating interviews, photos, audio, and video files in the final writing project. (Students will need a laptop, camera, and a small hard drive to house Final Cut Pro files for video editing. This course counts as a Creative Writing elective.
