21.11 images to better understand the text. Explain that these two images show the same place. Time passed, and the community changed. Now it looks like this. a. Have a discussion about how neighborhoods and communities where we live change over time. When people move to a new place, the neighborhood changes. When people build new houses, the neighborhood changes. When new families move into the neighborhood, it changes. This change happens slowly over time. b. When people move into a town, the community gets bigger. People use the land for different things. i. If possible, give specific examples of how your neighborhood and community have changed over time. For example: new buildings that have been built, new houses that have been built, new buildings that are being built, etc. 5. Reread the article. Have the students raise their hands when they hear how communities and neighborhoods change over time. Write each change on the board.
