Assignment #1: Monday March 9, 2009

Two things to do for today's assignment:

1) Please take a picture of your sketchup model (In Sketchup, go to "File", then "Export", then "2D Graphic") and upload it to the website by creating a "New Post" and using the "add image" button.

2) Look at the images below (which we talked about a couple of weeks ago) and answer the question "What does this make you think of" by clicking on the "Comment" link on this post.

What does this make you think of?

Some questions (you don't have to answer all of these, but they can help you answer the main question):
  • What's the story behind these pictures?
  • Is it the same place? How can it be the same place?
  • Which picture came first?
  • What happened to the people who were living in there first?
  • Where might you know more people?
  • Where could you more easily find a place to get groceries, or make friends?
  • Where would there be more things to do?
