These titles suggest some of the opportunities available to students when they engage city-as-text experiences. New York City and the greater metropolitan area actually become the “text” as students focus their learning activity on one of the vast array of “genres” provided by The Big Apple. Students have opportunities to propose and individualize their experiences. Research, reading, and reflection are elements of each experience, but the primary component is just that—experience.
