Class Discussion + Road Trip + Dinner?

So probably the most interesting thing I have done with a professor happened this past spring in my English 8: Journalism class with Professor Alexis Jetter. Throughout the class, we had a number of writing assignments from an observation piece to an in depth, feature length article. As a way to wrap up the term, Prof. Jetter canceled our last class session, and instead emailed out directions to her home for a potluck dinner. We spent a few hours exploring her gorgeous rural home, playing with her two children, eating good food, and sitting around a campfire reading excerpts from our own writing. It was just a great, low-stress way to end the term and was probably the coolest thing I have ever done with a professor, or a class for that matter.
