HELLO Los Angeles Area Expert! THANK YOU for agreeing to be part of this research project. To prepare for our group discussion next week, I have just TWO things for you to complete in advance. As you know, this is an important part of the project, so please spend a bit of time on this. You\u2019re welcome to type your responses here, save the document and send it to us\u2026 but no matter what, please be sure to bring a copy with you to the discussion next week. 1. Part One: Be a Local Reporter Interview your friends and family who live nearby\u2026 You can ask anyone, and the more \u201clocal reporting\u201d the do, the more interesting this will be! Ask at least 2-3 other people, and also include your own perspective on these topics: \uf0b7 What makes it great to live in the Los Angeles area? (What\u2019s special about this metro area as a whole AND your specific part of LA?) \uf0b7 What are some of the things that only locals would know about (and how you know someone is really a local). If you\u2019ve lived here a while you would know\/say\/do\u2026? \uf0b7 What are 3-5 things (e.g. places, events, etc.) that you would miss most if you had to move far away? (Feel free to make a list of these!) \uf0b7 What are some of the issues and causes you care about\/talk about around here? 2. Part Two: Uniquely LA Collage Please create a collage using paper 8-1\/2×11 or larger. I\u2019d like you to use words and images \u2013 ones of your own, or things you find in local publications or online sources \u2013 to showcase two aspects of the Los Angeles Area: 1) What you love to share, and 2) What you\u2019d like to keep a local secret. You can include as many images and words as you like\u2026 the more colorful and detailed it is the better! So, your collage will have 2 SECTIONS \u2013 you can put them all on one page or have 2 separate pages\u2026 your choice. Share This: When visitors come to town, what outdoor areas\/activities do you want to \u201cShow Off\u201d about the area where you live? Local Secrets: What areas and activities do you want to keep quiet so that they retain the locals-only feel and don\u2019t get overcrowded? After you\u2019ve created your collage, add a headline or theme for it. What\u2019s the headline of this collage (beyond just \u201cLA Stuff\u201d \u2013 get creative!) \u2013 both what you want to share and what should stay \u201clocals only\u201d? It can go at the top of the collage or in the middle. It\u2019s up to you how this looks. The more colorful the better! Finally, be sure your name is somewhere on the collage (front or back is fine).
