Section outline

  • For some of you this is your first time in Pennsylvania or the United States. College is about exploration and creating a home away from home. Even if you are from around the area, there are always more things to learn about the Philadelphia region. In small groups you will pick a topic that relates to Philadelphia (sports teams, history, famous people from here, etc.); if Philadelphia is related and mentioned you are on the right track. Together, you will research your Philly topic and create a presentation presented on the last day of class. Research topics are due the fifth week of class and you will have the rest of THRIVE to complete the project.
