Your task is to create a one-pager about the origins and settlement of the town or city that you live in or the town or city that is nearest to where you live.

A one-pager is an assignment that puts images and information on a single sheet of paper to show your learning. It can be created on a physical sheet of paper or made using digital tools. It can be neatly organized or more free-flowing.

For this one-pager, you must include the following:

The main learning goal for this activity is to discover why people create towns or cities and why the population of those communities grows or shrinks. As you are researching your town or city and choosing what to put on your one-pager, focus your attention on that aspect, because that is what your teacher will be assessing.
