Sense of Place Planning

Part A: Brainstorming Ideas for “Your Personal Place”                

Make a list of three (3) possibilities of places to which you hold strong connections: (past or present): you MUST have a connection and you MUST be able to find photos of your place.

1. Sunday River

2. Vermont house

3. My house

Of the 3 above on which one will be the BEST to create a scene that is meaningful to you:

Vermont

Make a list of the tangible connections to that place. Feelings. Smells. Sounds. Sights, etc. Include everything you can think of, even if it seems silly.

·      Feelings (such as happiness): Happiness

·      Smells (such as warm blueberries): Warm blueberries

·      Sounds (such as crickets at night): Crickets at night

·      Sights (such as seagulls): Seagulls

·      Tangible Objects (tickets, bracelet, shells): Shells
