Assignment for Week of June 11th 2007--Write about your city!

When student write to other Flat Stanley participants, they will ask questions about what their city is like, how many students attend their school, what interesting things are in the vicinity, etc. Therefore, the students should be able to answer these questions as well. A way to do that is to conduct some research. This can be done by talking with grandparents and parents, contacting people at the City Hall or the local library or even doing research on the Internet.

Your assignment for this week is to write in your Flat Stanley Journal about your city where you live now and the city where you lived before (or were born).
