Tree syllabus

It's adding-the-final-touches time for syllabi - or will be soon - so I've started wrangling the "Religion of Trees" course into some sort of shape. As any of you who've put courses together know, it's not enough to gather relevant and exciting materials and activities. Deciding in what sequence and rhythm to assemble them is key. Most useful for this process is defining the sequence of assignments, which in turn correlate to the "learning outcomes" of the course. Somehow the architects' symbols for different kinds of tree and shrub plantings above are helping me - not least because a sequence of drawing will definitely be part of the course's unfolding.
