Students start out spending a day in the neighborhoods of OTR and the West End, learning about their history from local experts. They then split into neighborhood groups and spend two days getting to know their own neighborhoods better, engaging in community service, and recording footage to make a video tour or documentary that tells the story of their neighborhood. The last day is spent back at school editing and finalizing videos and then showing them.
