Teachers Thoughts
• I think it is so important that we understand as much as we can about one another. Part of this is learning about the different places we come from. Are you from a Suburban, Urban, or Rural community? I am from all three! I lived in the city when I was younger (Brooklyn, New York), moved to the country when I was about ten (Armona, California), then moved to a Suburban area after high school (Mountian View, California).
• For class I want you to be able to tell me the difference between an Urban, Suburban, and Rural community. I also want to figure out which one sounds more like you.
Your Done!
• You did a good, job. Thank you for going through the slides!
