Take yourself on a fieldtrip to the 'border' inside metro
Phoenix.
The border is zone of interaction where the US and
another
country come together, intersect, butt up against or bleed into each
other,
whether in an easy blend or a contentious edginess. Migrants have
created social/geographical ÒborderÓ spaces like this throughout the
Phoenix metro area.
Go to one such ÒborderÓ zone. Immerse yourself there
for
a while. Observe, interact, chat with people. Take notes, take a photo,
and
record the location.
In your Òbrief,Ó swiftly describe and analyze what you
see
at this ÒborderÓ in light of what weÕve studied about immigration. Be sure to explain how your site
relates to this assignment!
Props: Use your photo or a representative object as
the basis for your show-and-tell one-minute mini-presentation.
Fieldwork
may be done in pairs, small teams, or individually. Each person writes
up
their own ÒbriefÓ taking a different angle on the site. One page max.
