ABSTRACT

This chapter continues discussions focused on the 4 month in-school research-creation project with 18 grade 9 English language arts students in a public school discussed in chapter 3. This chapter is theoretically informed by scholarship, informed by situated learning, mapping, and place. It focuses on two creative writing and mapping projects: synesthetic literary maps of the students’ secondary school inspired by the Situationists, and speculative maps of the future inspired by Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities. Both projects consider how walking and writing can be a way to think through transcorporeal relations to place.
