My class will be going to a local farmers' market (Reading Terminal Market, Philadelphia and I want to encourage students to interact with merchants, ask questions and get information by speaking (rather than by reading signs or price lists). I also plan to ask sythesizing disucssion quesitons for follow-up, such as compare the market with a regular grocery store. What kinds of unusual food did you find? Why is this farmers' market considered a tourist attraction, etc. If anyone has sucessful ideas for leading field trips into the community I'd love to read about them! Thanks! P.S. I've searched the NIFL-ESL discussion archive and was unable to find any past postings.
