A. At your table, discuss the Phoenix valley as you see it today. What are your favorite places? What are some things to avoid? Do you like living here? Explain. Have the members of your table been to the same places? Do you like the same attractions in the valley?
In-class Quick Write: Write a 3-5 paragraphs about the Phoenix area today from your point of view. Post in CANVAS.
3. Read "Beyond the Map" by Alexa D'Angelo. This describes Phoenix as it used to be. Could you add information to the Phoenix of yesterday? Conduct quick research. See what you can find out about Phoenix in the 1700s, 1800s, and 1900s. Record three interesting facts. Keep track of your sources. Please copy the information exactly and paste it in CANVAS. Put the URL information at the bottom of each fact entry.
Fact #4 will come from an interview with someone who has lived in the valley for 15 years of more. Get the correct spelling of the person's name if the individual gives you permission to use their name in your essay. Note the date of the interview as well.
You may conduct interviews in person, by phone, by text, or by e-mail. Note which method you use.
Ask at least FIVE questions and record the answers.
Sample questions - feel free to create your own questions.
- How long have you lived in the area?
- What do you remember most about the valley?
- What are the three greatest changes you have seen?
- Do you like Phoenix of the past or Phoenix today better? Please explain.
- If you could take one current change and roll the clock back to the way it was, what would that be? Explain.
