7A5's work for Wednesday 5th November 2008

Title : Is Doncaster a nice place to live?

Make a POWERPOINT presentation and find some pictures of the different types of houses and buildings that we have in Doncaster.....

Here are some ideas to google......

Shops in the town centre (Frenchgate Centre)
Terraced houses
Semi detached older houses
Semidetached modern houses
Detached modern houses
Out of town Shopping Centres (Lakeside)
Factory in Doncaster (McCormick)

For each one describe what they are like and try to include a picture of some of them
A Doncaster Map might also be useful to show where these types of bulidings are in Doncaster.
