Following Philly... E
Philadelphia Summary
Your first piece of work is a fifteen minute summary of your trip to Philadelphia. First, write a brief paragraph detailing what you and your partner’s itinerary had been heading into the trip. Then, compose a narrative paragraph detailing your activities chronologically. Please include details like the names of people, places, sites, buildings, sandwiches, styles of coffee. Get the details right in a narrative, sequential format. Post these. The narrative here will be helpful to me to get a sense of the variety of activity. The narrative will be useful to you too as background for your travelogue.
The Travelogue
This essay, much like the pieces in A Woman’s Passion for Travel, this piece will not be a mere re-hash of your day, although as a travel piece, it will include lots of travel details for your reader. Rather, it will be a thoughtful reflection about you and your experience in Philadelphia, a public reflection that will be true to you and to all readers. Think about “Looking for Abdelati” as a first model. Your pre-writing and composing will need to lead you to an opening sentence / opening idea like Shaffer’s. Somewhere within the travelogue essay you will need to include: 1) details of places visited, 2) at least one extended piece of description, 3) focus on the people with whom you interacted, including your conversation. These will be due during the first half next week, from Monday at 8.00 pm until Wednesday night at 11.00 pm. You will determine your deadline by Saturday’s class.
