read the tapescript and do the task after it.
in the project, a portrait of our town, students create a portrait of the place where they live. professor brown of hampton university explained to them, "you must decide what to tell people about your town. you could tell them about buildings and places or you could tell them about some of the people who live there. it's your chance, too, to give your own opinions. what is happening in your town now? how do you feel about it? "

the students were evidently motivated by the professor's questions. after the first session, there was a rush for the leaflets about the project. groups of boys and girls began to discuss ideas.

in the second session, professor brown talked about producing the portrait. "you can decide what to use," he explained, "film, photography, recordings of voices, sounds and music, different kinds of writing and art. the only limit on what you can do is your own imagination."

the students are aged from 12-16 and they come from different schools in all parts of the town. they are going to work in groups of 4-6. most students met for the first time at city hall. they had to choose who they would like to work with.

to help students to find out about each other, professor brown put up some message boards.

one said i like others said i don't like i am interested in students were invited to respond by writing on pieces of paper and sticking them on the board.

while they were busy writing and reading responses, professor brown explained that students from all over the country are creating portraits.

some of them live in very big cities. "but they don't have to include the whole city," he said. "they can construct a portrait of their part of it. it could be just their local neighborhood."
