Maya and I explored urban, rural, and suburban communities and life in those communities. We watched the BrainPop junior episode on communities, and we talked about features of those areas, and urban, rural, and suburban places Maya has been. Maya completed the 'easy' and 'hard' quizzes related to the episode. We discussed the meaning of 'population' and how there are urban, rural, and suburban areas around the world. We researched these types of areas, finding examples familiar and new to Maya, and printed pictures. Maya began a tri-fold brochure illustrating these areas, and giving bulleted information for each. We explored fact and opinion, cause and effect, compare/contrast, and making inferences throughout the lesson.
