Step 4: (50 points) Students write a descriptive “vision” of a San Francisco neighborhood as an extended metaphor for their self-description and history, including good and bad, and everything in between. This is the most difficult and important part of this project. You need to use the information you gathered in Steps 1-3 to put together a descriptive guide to this neighborhood. Your guide can be similar to the SFGate descriptions, with a personal touch.Step 1: Answer the following questions:What is this neighborhood proud of, what is it famous for?Originally, this neighborhood was full of shops, taverns, hotels and hardware stores, in the 19th century. In modern times, the neighborhood extends from the financial district to China Town. The Financial District contains thousands of businesses located anywhere between 10 and 853 feet in elevation. The tallest building is the Transamerica Pyramid in which five different companies operate. Chinatown, once run by the Chinese Triad, now seems much tamer. It is a hotspot for tourists and is known for its numerous gift shops spread throughout. Why are people attracted to this neighborhood? Many people come to the financial district to work. For those who commute from Sonoma County to the north and San Jose to the south, this is the place to take your career to the next level. Chinatown is home to many. Many San Francisco Chinese live in Chinatown, and many of them own or work in one of the many shops and restaurants. At weekends, hundreds of locals gather in Portsmouth's Square to gamble, dance and socialise. Which parts of this neighborhood are "hidden gems"? On the corner of Montgomery and Commercial Streets, one of the oldest buildings in San Francisco.... .. middle of paper ......rable. When I am betrayed, as this homeless man did, I find myself worrying. Step 3: Read your work for phases 1 and 2 of this project and highlight anything that is similar to your description of the neighborhood. List these descriptions, word for word. Then, match the similar descriptions you wrote in steps 3 and 4 of the neighborhood. Write them all down. Finally, construct a descriptive/expository essay, describing your San Francisco neighborhood and drawing connections to descriptions of yourself. Every paragraph and description must draw these connections. Make sure your links aren't mean or simplistic. Take time to make it meaningful. This must be written in Google Docs (sent shortly) and assessed against the attached proficiency scale. For reference, read neighborhood descriptions online. Expiration date: May 21/22
