Blurb:

Chapter 4 shares a place-based essay assignment, the local tour, with its dual emphases placed on audiences: selected tour-participants and the college-peer readers of the essay. Reconfigured as a virtual tour, it may be researched wholly online as circumstances like the COVID-19 pandemic determined, or the research may involve explorations of a community, campus, or another place. Situationally adaptable, it may be assigned as groupwork, individual work, or a hybrid involving both. Step-by-step instructions are included for photocopying or projecting and scoring, and a student example is included.
