Purpose:
There are several locations within San Francisco that are significant to Filipino American History and Community. This scavenger hunt is designed to bring the classroom out into the community in order to connect history, spaces, and people. Hopefully, this project will challenge the notion that Filipino culture is stagnant and that Filipino American history is only learned through textbooks. We also want you to have fun and build community with your fellow classmates.

Process:
Scavenger Hunt Each barangay must visit the 3 sites they are assigned. This must be accomplished with ALL you barangay members present and you need to take a documenting photo at EACH site. You must complete a site questionnaire for EACH site. Some additional research may be needed in order to complete the questionnaire. If you are visiting an organization or active business, please get some brochures/pamphlets to share with the class. You must also share a meal together as a barangay at a Filipino owned restaurant from the list provided. Additionally, you can choose to either interview a community member (from the list provided) or attend a community event.
