Today we learned how and why communities change. We started by thinking about growing communities. We learned that jobs bring people to a community, and that the people have different needs. Then, we made our own model of a growing community.
Then we had a great discussion about how communities change! Tomorrow we'll be talking about when and why a community gets smaller. One student already pointed out that Detroit's community got bigger when people moved there for jobs in the car industry, so we were able to talk about what happens when factories close. We also discussed how our community is always changing because of the university.
