City Connection Review

You have completed your presentation and shared some of your story and knowledge from a city you’ve lived in. You’ve also learned to analyze different factors in the establishment and prosperity of a civilization.

In your blog, please reflect on the following (in paragraph form ~ remember to include examples and explanations to support your facts):

1) What you believe you did well on the project?

2) What you would improve for future presentations/projects?
3) What did you learn from the gallery walk? Is there anything you would do differently after looking at your classmates projects?
4) What is your analysis of your project?

5) Based on the data you gathered, why should anyone settle/live in your city?

Lastly, include a link to your Google Docs city presentation on your blog.

Enjoy , Mr. T
