The students will then continue to work on finding information about their assigned cities and prepare to present findings to the class for tomorrow. As they do their research, have the students continue to add to the list of things which haven't seemed to change much in Istanbul since the time the accounts were written. Groups will give their presentations today. They should remember to emphasize population, economy, and characteristics of their city. In addition, each group should give one interesting fact about Istanbul which hasn't been mentioned in class.
All students are to take notes and list the important points in each group's presentation.
When all the groups are finished, have the students turn in all homework, classwork, and notes from listening to the presentations. Bibliographical Information Antoniou, Jim. Cities then and now . Customs and Habits of the Turks . Thomas, W. May, ed.
