1. Economy and work (what are the types of places people work in or do business/shopping, where are they, and what do people do there?)
2. Housing and community (in what types of arrangements do people live, learn, and recreate – where and how do people associate with each other or avoid each other?).
3. Transportation (how does the way people move around your town make daily life possible and/or difficult?)
Maps and other graphics will help in the development of your paper’s narrative, but cannot contribute to the 5 page requirement. It is perfectly acceptable for you to speak from personal experience but you need to substantiate your arguments citing 2 primary sources aside from yourself and outside of assigned readings (these are first-person accounts that you may find in newspaper articles, through audio or video recordings, survey/census data, or through an interview), citing 2 secondary sources outside of assigned readings (these are sources describing and analyzing primary sources), and citing 2 of our assigned readings (the textbook can only count as one). Don’t forget to introduce the topic and purpose of your paper, and come to some conclusion about the challenges your city/town faces (or doesn’t face) because of the way its communities/work places/transportation are arranged. Include references in the text e.g. “(Smith 1998)” with complete bibliographic information at the end of the paper e.g. “Smith, J. 1998. The City. New York: Random House.”
“Bird on Fire” is one of the assigned readings
