City Life For Immigrants

     Your team has a special assignment.  Every team member needs to
work together and each person will have a special task.  The first thing
to do is discuss and assign roles to each team member.  Since there are 
four members in each team, each person should have a different role.  
All team members are responsible for the final product.  The visual your
team will create will be displayed in class and graded as a team activity. 
Depending on the time needed, the activity may last two days.

     1.  Take one minute to choose a role and write down the role on the index card provided.

          B)  timekeeper- Keeps teammates on task.  Tells team the time
                    remaining for the activity. *Five minutes before class
