Comparing Ethnic Neighborhoods 

We are third grade students who live in Wilmette, Illinois. It is a northern suburb of Chicago located on the west coast of Lake Michigan. Chicago is a large city which was built by many different ethnic groups immigrating to this area. Our class spent time visiting other neighborhoods in the city of Chicago. We explored these neighborhoods to find the similarities and differences between our neighborhood and the neighborhoods we visited.

We used several topics as points of comparison. Please visit our web pages and see what we found:
