Take the M5 bus on a weekend at Houston and La Guardia Place to the last stop - george Washington Bridge- and return. The trip should take about 1 and 1/2 hours.
make notes of what you find surprising- e.g. changing neighborhoods, changing people, changing architecture, or none of these- and write your own personal experience of the trip- observing, imagining, and reacting to New York, or you can imagine a story about the people you see.
The assignment is a short 5 page personal story of your experience. If you choose to create media, a short written piece is required as well.
