A comparison of two world cities leads to a pictorial and written report.
1.
Investigate customs, traditions, child-rearing practices, ways of making a living, education and socialization practices, gender roles, foods, natural resources, weather, religious and spiritual beliefs, and other distinctive characteristics of two cities anywhere in the world. Find pictures of both historic and contemporary architecture from these cities. Organize your information in a comparative written study.
2.
Make two nighttime skylines, one for each city. Use Crayola® Scissors to cut colored construction paper into shapes resembling historic and modern buildings.
3.
Place buildings on a large piece of black construction paper. Overlap and stagger the buildings in both skylines. Use Crayola School Glue to attach. Dry.
4.
Add details to buildings using black Crayola Markers for a darkened, nighttime effect.
5.
With a partner, identify similarities and differences in your skylines.
