Living in New York

Think about the sprawling metropolis in which we live. In your notebook, write about the following:

• What do you find inspiring about it? 
• What problems do you see? 

Give specific examples and details. Include ideas about your neighborhood and the rest of the city as well. 

Homework: Bring in an article, poem, or song lyrics that express something inspiring or disappointing about where you live. Read and annotate it. Write a 2 paragraph summary and explanation of why you chose it (in your notebook).
