Place Based ideas

Page history last edited by Ms. Edwards 14 years, 10 months ago

I wonder if a place-based project would inspire them.

 

Think of an area of interest in our town. What is the idea?  question? thesis?

 

Place ideas:

Tour of school

Tour of town

Tour of historic places

Tour of eateries

Tour of museums

Tour of entertainment and sports

Tour of parks

etc.

 

About our town: beauty, nature

About our town: eyesores, problems

About our town: suggestions/solutions
