Bell Ringer Write a half a page red to red. Brainstorm different ways to park your car and give examples of where you’ve seen/used this type of parking. (Think downtown, Wal-Mart, SHS, etc.) If you don’t know the proper name, explain with details on when/how you would use that specific type of parking. What is the most difficult part about parking for you? If you’ve never parked a car, what do you foresee being the hardest part?
