Write three short paragraphs (around three sentences each) following these instructions:

i) Research New York in the 1920s. In **your own words** describe three ways it is different from today's world. Things you can research: alcohol, parties, fashion, women, sports, money, music. You can find other things as well. At the end of this paragraph **link** using the 'Link' button to any website you used for research.

ii) Read someone's 'Who am I?' page. Looking at their picture try to guess who it is and imagine a little story using the information on the sheet

iii) Tell the story of your scar. When you tell this story though, try to be like Nick. Lie about one small detail that i8s not important. Additionally, leave out one very big detail that is very important to the story. See how that changes it?

Also feel free to add to our New York Song List.

1 I found an updated page that have recent content about some kinda traditional party in New York. Here in the website we can see some pictures showing the costumes and in some way how the people danced in these Jazz parties. The photos showed it was a joyful party, the dancers show happiness and enjoyment. [|Here is the research page.]

2 The paper I took seems to be from a girl, because the drawings are a girl. Also, it's a girl who likes sports cuz her drawings are about swimming, skating and playing badminton. The story: A girl did not want to study, so she was once on the street and crossed a bridge and saw another girl swimming. She came closer, it was her mother,Susan. Mom noticed her daughter looking at her. She quickly called her. Susan started telling her daughter she used to be a swimming competitor, but because she did not finished high school, she could not be pro. So her daughter worried started to study every single day.

3. I have a scar in my right eyebrow. When I was young I was in a restaurant and I was walking, then i just slipped with a banana skin and I bumped myself. That's all. :)
