The Empathy Project is an assignment I’ve given in 3 countries. It’s inspired by Brent Walker's book of stories and portraits of people from all walks of life in the South.
We spent a thanksgiving in a state campground in Louisiana. It was incredible. Everyone shared everything they had with us and we were immediately welcomed into their community.
Any assignment that encourages students to have face-to-face conversations is increasingly valuable these days. What a cool story.
Thanks!

Campgrounds are fun, and living in them full time is as fun as I thought it would be!
