Neighborhood Environment and Influences

Alright class, I had a heck of time getting this on here in the right format. This blog doesn't want to accept my pictures, so sorry--and it also doesn't have the text boxes that I had put on there for the drawings, but at least the questions are there, so you get the gist!

Rachel,
Good questions to get at a lot of good information. If older students don't want to draw their neighborhood, they could cut out magazine pictures and explain why the pictures describe their perception of their neighborhood.
