Instruction
Take at least a page and a half (about 450 words) to describe the neighborhood you are focusing on in dense sensory detail. In paragraphs (not simply responses to questions), describe what it looks like, smells like, sounds like, feels like. Some things you might describe: What are some tastes that you associate with the neighborhood? What are activities that take place there? What does it feel like on a hot day? What does it feel like on a workday morning? What does it feel like on a major holiday? How do people use the neighborhood? How do they interact with each other? Who are some typical neighborhood characters? This might be material you end up using for Paper 2 - but some of it you might not use; you're just trying to vividly recreate the place on the page.
