Neighborhood comparison
One of the skills we practice all the time in English is to use evidence from the text to support your answers. In this assignment, students found sentences from the book, Taking Sides by Gary Soto, that showed what Lincoln's old neighborhood in the Mission District of San Francisco looked like compared to what his new neighborhood in Sycamore looks like. They were then asked to draw a picture of Lincoln's neighborhood based off of the information in those sentences.
