Hi guys,
It would be very helpful for future students if you could take this 10-second survey. Please use the Chrome browser:
After a "See-Think-Wonder" with our mystery image (below), we talked about why some Winnetka residents might be opposed to the "One Winnetka" development at the site of the Phototronics building in downtown Winnetka near the train station. Tomorrow we will discuss how this particular project fits in with our discussion of "affordable housing" and the proposed development in Wilmette.
Pay close attention to the statistics regarding how North Shore suburbs that feed into New Trier square with the Affordable Housing Planning and Appeal Act, which is Illinois state law. The embedded presentation below contains all of the facts and figures we covered in class, and you should be able to save any slide to your computer (by right-clicking on it) for further use.
New Trier students had a wonderful time meeting one last time with our peers from Kelvyn Park and Richard T. Crane Medical high schools. Here was a breakdown of our time talking about educational inequity in the state of Illinois at the Hairpin Arts Center.
