Description
Summary:[...] essays in Part I, "Community Studies in the Classroom" (embodying the "keeping" component), describe classroom projects that involve students in discovering significant places in their environment, such as creating an exhibit of photographs on a controversial historical issue (lynching); investigating an event from the community's past and creating a media artifact to pass on to future generations; and recovering a local landmark threatened by development.
