A description of a Title III funded project is presented in this paper. The project, Urban Awareness, involves an urban field trip for high school students from suburban areas. Every year, at least five classes from suburban Hamilton spend a school day in Boston's North End and Roxbury districts as a means of studying the city and its ethnic neighborhoods. Both teachers and students see the experience as critical in understanding issues in urbanology and minority group courses. One of the learning objectives of the program is to diminish stereotyped responses and misinformation about the city and its ethnic minorities through contact and first hand information-gathering. The students in the program were to do the following: (1) write a position paper on a current issue in city planning or government, (2) cite 5 examples of ethnic or cultural diversity within an urban neighborhood that they had actually seen, and (3) complete a worksheet containing a series of questions. Advice for teachers when planning an urban expedition is given. The appendix includes the student worksheet. (Author/AM)
