About
In this lesson, students go on a virtual tour, viewing examples of indoor and outdoor public spaces. Then they design and create an accordion book to tell a story about at least two indoor and two outdoor public spaces. Students then share their stories with each other to build awareness about and enjoyment of great community resources. The Extend activities get students thinking on a deeper level about the value of public spaces and the purposes they serve in the lives of individuals and communities.
