Spaces around UVA

The University of Virginia has the most beautiful campus. Not only do we have Thomas Jefferson's Academical Village, but there are many other spaces around grounds where students can read, chat, and play. And that is just what I did yesterday with my group of Architecture 101 students... PLAY! 

As a review for their final exam, the other Teaching Assistants and I decided to play a game of charades... architecture style! Since it was such a wonderful C'ville day, we wanted to take our students outside for class to enjoy the weather, falling leaves, and crisp air. As an extra special treat Brian brought his new tinnie tiny puppy to play. 

Each students took time to write their own ideas on slips of paper and than one by one they stood in front of the group while acting out their building, style, or architectural theme which we have discussed this past semester. We all had the best time... laughing, learning, and spending time together in the beauty of Charlottesville. 

I encourage my readers to explore the grounds around the University of Virginia. There are numerous spaces where one can submerge themselves and get lost in the beauty of the landscape. Take the time to read, write, or even PLAY!
