Activity Description and Educational Rationale

Emergency Contact Information Approximate Cost (Charged to Student Account) Special Considerations and What to Bring

We will walk to Summerhill Station and take the TTC south to Dundas Station and return by the same route. As part of our unit on advertising, students will be inventorying the number and types of ads in the area, interviewing passersby about their response to ads and the impact of advertising on public space. Students may use this fieldwork in their Higher Level Essay. Rob Burkett 416-820-9050 N/A

Students should wear their uniforms and appropriate outerwear for the weather. A notebook, pen and cell phone or camera is required.

Safety precautions: students will be oriented to the area, given boundaries, and will work in partners. Teachers will be centrally located and students will have Mr. Burkett’s cell number.
