The first part of your project is a neighborhood reflection about your street or neighborhood. This reflection, story, or memory will be the introduction to your semester-long project.
You may want to consider some of the following questions and prompts. You are not limited to these questions in any way.
- For how long have you lived in your neighborhood?
- Who else from your family or community lives with you or near you?
- What are the major defining features of your neighborhood?
- Describe the demographics of your neighborhood.
- Describe the buildings.
- Describe how people come and go from your neighborhood.
- When does your neighborhood feel most alive?
- During which season do you most enjoy your neighborhood?
- What is a favorite memory from your neighborhood?
- How does the rest of the city view your neighborhood? How do you view this place?
Remember, you will be creating a website for this project so as you brainstorm, you want to consider how you want to capture and present your reflection.
