Process Piece- How to Brush a Trail
This piece was written for an intro to writing class at College of the Atlantic (2015). The assignment was to write a “process piece”, which is basically a how-to guide. I choose to write it about my experience in California and Glacier National Park with the Student Conservation Association. While writing this piece, I was intrigued by the concept- how do I explain how to do something in simple, easy-to-understand language, while also telling a story? Looking back over this piece, I realized that it fits directly into my goal of exploring aspects of communication and story telling and utilizing this to educate and engage others. This is why I included it in this portfolio. It also reminds me that I need to be open to the ways my past projects have shaped my interests now, and explore this more.
