City and Country

As a group, we listed traits of cities and countries.

City

  • lots of cars
  • lots of people
  • lots of buildings
  • expressway
  • lots of libraries
  • lots of stores
  • lots of jobs
Country

  • horses
  • cows
  • sheep
  • farm animals
  • barns
  • trees and woods
  • deer
  • wheat
  • cornfields

We talked about these differences, then surveyed the group about where they would rather live. Nine students would rather live in the city, while four would like to live in the country.
