Over the past month we've been
time-traveling to 1514 to study the ways of the Lenape on the island of Manhattan. We then made a large chart about the great things that the Lenape did in five categories: education, government, work, food, and transportation. We then added to our chart about what was great about those categories now in New York City. After studying our chart, we noticed that we liked lots of great things about 1514 and 2014!
Of course, our work wasn't done yet! We then planned our ideas for the future. We took the great parts of the Lenape and the great parts of modern-NYC and put them together to help plan the City of the Future. After planning out ideas, we starting building our models. Tomorrow we will present our ideas to the group to share our plans. Stay tuned!
