Thursday May 23: What are the alternatives?

This next assignment is an addendum (love that word; I've been meaning to use it for ages) to the previous one. This time around, I want you to re-list each item, then next to it, list an alternative. Some way of achieving the goal without having to go to a city to do so.

After each "alternative" item, one complete sentence about how just HOW you can substitute the alternative for the original. How would it work? How would your goal be accomplished?

When finished, send it to me in an email with your name and "What are the alternatives?" in the subject line

cheers,
Mr. L

Thursday May 23: What Are Cities Good For?

A NOTE OF COMMUNITY INTEREST:

ALL ASSIGNMENTS WHICH YOU STILL OWE FOR THIS CLASS MUST BE HANDED IN TO ME BY EMAIL BY NEXT FRIDAY MAY 31 BEFORE THE END OF THE SCHOOL-DAY AT 3:30 PM. GRADES ABSOLUTELY MUST GO IN SO THAT YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES CAN RECEIVE YOUR REPORT CARDS  -- MR. L


Greetings, stardust descended life forms!

Today's first foray into school-based thinking will be simple and to the point:

A) List the things that cities are good for. Cities exist, so there's got to be some reason for this. Actually, there must be lots and lots of reasons

So make a list. I like prime numbers, so let's set the list at 13.

The items on the list can be things that you like about cities, stuff you've done there...but not necessarily.

B) Following each list item, give a two complete sentence explanation as to why the item is on this particular list. The first sentence describes the item and how it functions; the second sentence describes why (some) people might find this desirable.

Send this item-description o me in the body of an email, with your name and "what are cities good for?" in the subject line.

cheers,
Mr. L
