Rural, Suburban and Urban

Today, we learned about rural, suburban, and urban areas. In rural areas, such as farmlands, homes and buildings are spread out. In urban areas like cities, homes and buildings are very close together. Suburban areas are places outside of cities. People who live in suburbs often travel to the city for work.

Our thinking was challenged by Ms. Eyer who brought in a pile of popular book titles from the library and asked us to decide if the book setting was urban, suburban or rural. We supported our decision with evidence from the text.
