In the heat of June, July, and August, the summer session has flown by. And now we’re at
that place again—an end for some; yet for so many of us, a new beginning. We had such a
number of activities over the summer that we couldn’t include them all in this 12-page
newsletter. Two of the most fun—involving food—go unfeatured here for lack of space: the
surprise visit to Bea’s Restaurant (Let’s do that again!) and the International Pot Luck
Luncheon. We’re keeping on hand all of the recipes you submitted for a future edition of the

Dollywood Trip
Welcome sign.
By Kwan | On July 25, 2011, a hot summer day, the
ESL students had a great trip to Dollywood together.
Dollywood is an amusement park located in Pigeon Forge,
Tennessee. We met at Lansing Court at 7.00 a.m. We were Preparing for fun.
heading to Cleveland in order to have a quick breakfast, and
then we left for Dollywood. At noon we arrived and took a
nice photo together. After that everyone had a lot of fun
with the rides such as Thunderhead, Mystery Mine,
Tennessee Tornado, Village Carousel, and so on. Some
watched the bird show at Wings of America Theatre. We
had a southern food lunch. Before we left there, we had a
lot enjoyment shopping. There are more than 40 shopping
locations that offer everything from specialty apparel and
home furnishings to handmade crafts and foods.
Dollywood is owned by country singer Dolly Parton. The
park is organized into ten themed areas such as Rivertown
Junction, Timber Canyon, and Craftsmen’s Valley, reflecting
the historical eras and culture of east Tennessee.
Attractions include the Smoky Mountain River Rampage On the porch, Kwan, Amy, Pelin and Katja rest on the porch of the Parton homestead.

coaster. Actually, I wanted to try other roller coasters that
were longer than the one I rode, but I couldn't do that
because the Tennessee storm was coming, so next time, I
will ride the other roller coasters.
By Patrick | I have never seen a place such as
Dollywood. The reason why is that even though we have
several similar places in my country, we don't have
anything that combines with nature. So when I saw
Dollywood, it was exciting because I have an interest in
architecture and my major is also the same thing. So it was
a good field trip and I studied about my major through
Dollywood.

I really wondered if Dolly knows that fact. The main theme of my
field trip to Dollywood involved these questions.
By Julian | I really enjoyed the last field trip to Dollywood
because it consisted of many attractions. I liked especially the
extreme attractions, the places, the people, the food, the weather. I
enjoyed also buying at the outlets in Pigeon Forge. That trip was an
undeniable opportunity to share good times with our director,
teachers, and classmates.

Fall Creek Falls
On the trail with Jane.
Fall Creek Falls—an amazing waterfall right in the heart of Tennessee.

Summer Course, we went to Fall Creek Falls. This state park Tiger Swallowtail. Dragonfly.
is a paradise spread across the eastern top of Tennessee’s
Cumberland Plateau.
At 9:00 am we met at Wal-Mart for a quick breakfast. The
weather was hot but everyone was looking forward to the
trip. We all made a caravan to our destination. At noon we
arrived and gathered to eat our lunch at the Fall Creek Falls
Lodge. From there, everyone found an activity to do. The
activities included swimming, fishing, hiking, horse riding,
bicycling, and golfing. Some students went walking, some
wanted to go to see the waterfalls. Everyone had a good
time. Rayan and Abdulmajeed working out.
The park is huge. It is more than 20,000 acres and full of
waterfalls, streams, cascades and hardwood trees. It is very
beautiful and one of the most scenic parks in the United
States. At 256 feet, Fall Creek Falls is the highest waterfall
in the eastern United States. The scenery was beautiful and
amazing. Live animals are protected in the park, as well as
the birds, trees, and rivers.
I went with a group of friends hiking. We stopped to see A friend on the trail.
the waterfall from the top then started our hike going
down. It was a nice hike especially when we reached the
water and swam in it. I went to take a picture under the
waterfall to show how big it is. We then hiked back up
which was harder but we rested every little while.
After hiking Katja and I had an adventure going back to
Chattanooga. The trip took us more than two hours instead
of one but it was worth it. We stopped by some shops on
the way back that are not on the other route and the
scenery especially was beautiful because it went through
mountains.

Scenes from Beauty & the Beast.
By Katja | On Thursday, 7th of July, we went to the
Signal Mountain Playhouse to see the dress rehearsal of
Disney's Beauty and the Beast. Thank you, Anne, for
inviting the ESL students and staff. Who doesn't know the
wonderful fairy tale about the young beautiful Belle and
the Beast, a prince who was turned into a hideous beast by
a witch? The only way the curse can be broken is by finding
true love.
We saw and listened to a wonderful version from Beauty

actors performed marvelously, the costumes were very
nice, the orchestra was wonderful. You could see, that it'd
been a lot of work, effort and devotion for this theatre to
get the show off the ground.
There was one important question: Could the Beast find his
true love, despite his ugliness, before the enchanted rose
lost its last petal? Yes, of course. Hey guys, it's a fairy tale
and good always wins out. However, the story was very
exciting and the actors understood how to captivate the
audience. At the end, the entire castle has been redeemed
from the curse, Belle and the Prince married and lived Sitting pretty at the Signal Mountain Play House.

Riverbend
Stars in the sand.
The fun starts here.
Roving reporters at Riverbend.
By Azeez | None of us had ever been to the Riverbend
Music Festival before, so we had to check it out and report
on it for the ESL newsletter. Katja, from Germany, Kwan from
Thailand, and I, from Saudi Arabia, ventured out on a hot
June evening to hear the music. The place was full of people
and there were many stages with many kinds of music
playing. On this night, we mostly heard the strains of
country music and bluegrass as we walked along the river,
but eventually we got to hear the headliner, Brian McKnight, John Lathim and his band.
whose music was soulful and urban.
Some of the other headliners on other nights were Huey
Lewis and the News, the Beach Boys, Alan Jackson, and Kellie
Pickler.
It was fun to experience the major music festival in our
adopted city, Chattanooga.

7. Stories
Father’s Day Cheese & Chocolate
By Pelin Sengun
I like chocolate. Every day I eat chocolate. When I was a child, my
father put cheese under my chocolate. I never eat cheese. He
thought I would not taste the cheese—but I did!Now I make my own
chocolate. When I learned how to make it, I learned a lot of
information about chocolate. If you use cocoa butter, your chocolate
is good. If you use vegetable butter, your chocolate is bad.
Chocolate is healthy for us, especially for our hearts. If you eat
chocolate, you can feel happy. There are many chocolate brands in
the world, but Belgian and Swiss chocolates are the best.
Maybe someday, I will have my own brand of chocolate. Then when
you eat chocolate, you will remember me…

Jane.
Hu Prevost, the Director of International Programs, doesn’t know
either, when exactly the ESL and his department are going to move
into the new house. He spoke about many positive aspects that will
be achieved by having the International Program and the ESL Institute
in one house. For example he pointed out that it will give the ESL
students the possibility to be more involved in campus life and the
university itself. Though Hu has never visited the ESL Institute in the
building that Anne Rittenberry calls “the dungeon”, he’s aware of the
importance of moving and he’s looking forward to it, too. We all have
the hope to move soon.

Arresting Yarn

She thinks that hand-spun yarn in general is beautiful and art yarn
has even more excitement in it. It is full of character and beautiful
just by itself. It's a lot of fun to spin it but also she likes to do
something with it. She didn't want to knit clothes with it because she
was worried that the interesting texture of the yarn would disappear
in the knitted piece. Sometimes she sees beautiful hand-spun art

main reason why she had the idea to arrange her artistic yarns in
