For this assignment, everyone in the class is expected to make a post.
Post an image that represents an important event in American history that took place between 1865 and the present. It may be something as local as your neighborhood or as large as a World War. In either a caption or the first sentence of your post, please note where you found the picture and as far as possible give credit to the original creator of the image. I will show you in class how to link to the image in its original location. Please choose an image that you are comfortable having shared on the open World Wide Web.
For instructions on writing a post and inserting images in WordPress, please consult this page. If you have trouble inserting an image for this first post, you may post a description of the image and email me the image file, which I will insert.
After your image, write 1-2 sentences describing the basic facts about the image (where, when, and what). Write an additional 1-2 sentences explaining why the event depicted (or the image itself) is important to you or a group to which you belong (family, community, nation, etc.).
As you may have already noticed, our course blog has a rotating header. In an effort to make the space feel “like home” to our course as quickly as possible, I will use images that you post for this assignment.
