Place-based Learning Preparation and Reflection

Place-based learning experiences can generate multi-faceted activities based on your discipline and observation and research of the space. Our place-based experience this seminar will focus on the Gowanus via a walking tour given by Joseph Alexiou, the author of Gowanus: Brooklyn’s  Curious Canal. Please review the information below and answer the questions before our place-based learning experience on January 17.

The city is our laboratory, we say, so when we visit, we want you to think about why we are visiting this place. 

Why does this place matter from your discipline?

Leave a question or fact that you think can be connected to the site from your discipline. 

Post your answer before we go on the site visit.
