For homework this week, please read chapters five through eight in "The Cricket in Times Square." Times Square is a very famous, important part of New York City, part of what makes the city everything it is. So your additional homework is to research, either at the library or on the internet, a famous New York City landmark, and be prepared to tell the class about it. This can be a famous building, statue, store, museum, or even a neighborhood in New York City that is known for something specific. Please prepare your presentation in writing by answering the following:

What is the name of your landmark?

When was it built or established?

Why did you choose it?

Why is it important to people?
