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.

Together we watched the BrainPop movie, Rural, Suburban and Urban. 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.

Look at the three pictures below.

Choose any picture and tell me if the picture is Rural, Suburban and Urban. Use evidence (what you know) to support your choice. Click on the comment button to leave your answer.
