Rather than trying to fit this trip to my current curriculum class, I found another course that might work better because it is a general ed course, which is the category of course they want us to use.

S you did not write this? This is a course that CCV offers and you want to try to put the trip into this course? Can this language be changed or is this the mold we have to fit into?

Sorry for the delay.  Suddenly I realized I was supposed to walk with Sveta at 1:00.  Just got back - and we got snowed on!  My hands a not working right for typing...
So I took a look at that website and they have lots of books there - I will spend time perusing.
The workshop idea is great!  Yes, let's build that into the syllabus, for sure.
As for the Essential Objectives, no, I didn't write those.  CCV writes all of the EOs for every class they offer and we need to choose from the approved list.  I chose this one because it meets the General Education category requirements (or rather, strong suggestion) mentioned on the request for proposal.
More when my poor hands warm up...
