The Power of Aroma and the Olfactory Experience in the Classroom

Russ Sprinkle

Abstract

Suggests that despite culturally induced aversions, aromas do have a role to play in writing instruction. Suggest there are many examples in literature of authors’ treatment of the olfactory sense. Argues that emphasizing smell as a writing stimulant and encouraging olfactory analyses of literary works can serve as valid ways of introducing students to alternative and challenging approaches to writing.
