Application:  Students will be able to work together, to meet with and visiting important landmarks of the area.  Important information that will be grade specific will be population changes, business changes and choosing students who can draw the images and collect pictures.  This will require some field trips and create environments students may not feel comfortable in, like talking to people he or she have never met but will be an enlightening experience.
