Week 3: September 28 and September 30
Hey y'all,
Since this assignment might take some research, just wanted to remind you all that it's coming:
For Tuesday, September 28th, please post the following exercise to the shared googledoc folder.
EXERCISE:
Revisit your place and approach it as a historian. See it for its geography, its material culture, and with a longitudinal focus.
In your 2-3 page piece, address these questions:
What shaped its environment?
Who crossed, visited, or inhabited it?
How has nature and natural disaster affected it?
How has social change swayed its make-up?
Both the pieces and the feedback last week were awesome, I challenge you all to get historical on your places.
