After reading “B is for Brooklyn” our professor was inspired
to do something similar using our community. We called our project M is for
Michiana. For this project each one of us in the class got to pick a letter of
the alphabet and use that letter to find something of importance in our
community that starts with that letter.
For example if someone got the letter E they could research
the art, culture, history, people, nature, geography, and events of Elkhart.
Because our class has so many people in it, we ran out of
letters. So, some of us got a specific place to research. I receive IUSB, because
it is important to the whole class given that it is the school that we are all
going to.
This activity, or something like it, could be good for
students to learn about their communities. It may also help to get the students
actually involved with their communities.
