Themes in American History

As mentioned in class, you have an opportunity to earn extra credit.  It is worth between 1 and 4 points on your final grade depending on the quality and depth of your report.  To get credit, you must complete the blog post by the time of your final exam.

Requirements:
1) visit a site that relates to NYC sometime during this semester (provide ticket stub or some other evidence of visit)
2) Write a 1-6 paragraph report *as a blog post* connecting what you learned at the site to topics and materials covered in this course.  I encourage the use of images and/or video to highlight your points.

Some recommended sites:
–Lower East Side Tenement Museum
–African Burial Ground
–Ellis Island
–Museum of the City of New York
–New-York Historical Society
