Assignment for Thursday, 9/25, and thinking ahead

For Thursday, 9/25

Neighborhoods – Data Collection:

If you haven’t already done so, collect and bring in at least three neighborhood newspapers.

We’re going to start doing some thinking about neighborhoods. Bring in three items that represent something about your neighborhood.

Get caught up on your journal writing. I’m posting some topics on my blog if you need some ideas to get you going.

 

Thinking Ahead:  For Thursday, 10/2

Neighborhoods – Developing a Framework:

Imagine that someone from very far away has come to your neighborhood. You are their host. This visitor is a very curious person who wants to learn about this place. Imagine giving them a tour of your neighborhood. To what three places would you take this visitor?

Write a paragraph about each of the three places that you would take this visitor to. Each of your three paragraphs should have two parts:

o      Describe the item or place that you should show this person.

o      Analyze – why is that thing or place important enough to include in your top three choices?

 

Type. In order to really say something, you should have approximately a page (or more ;-). 

• Bring in your first draft and a revised version with corrections.
  
• Bring two copies of your final draft.
• Be sure to save a computer copy of each assignment. It will help you later!!
