TitleWriting Assignments Get Language Learners Out Exploring the Local Community
Body
 
Elena Shvidko provides a list of writing assignments that require students to get out and explore the local community. Here are a few examples: 
 
• Visit a local museum, library, or exhibit hall and write a reflective piece on their experience.
• Write an opinion paper on cleaning and recycling measures (or lack thereof) undertaken by the local city administration.
• Volunteer in an event sponsored by the local community and describe their experience.
• Examine menus from local restaurants and write a paper discussing whether or not they believe the restaurants cater to diverse populations of customers.
 
These assignments could be used at different age levels and would also be good for students studying abroad or living in a community with heritage speakers.
