  Clash of Cultures Questioning

Posted by Diana Laufenberg in American History - Laufenberg on Friday, March 2, 2012 at 12:39 pm
1.  Using the sources contributed to the shared google spreadsheet of primary documents, decide on a question you would like to explore related to Manifest Destiny and the impact on the Native American people as a result.

2.  Scan the list of sources, identify 5 that you would like to analyze as they relate to answering your chosen question.  Choose as least one visual source (map, poster, photograph, cartoon)

3.  Register for an account with thinglink.com and scoop.it.

4.  Using thinglink, analyze one of your visual sources.  Drop tags on the image to analyze the information.  When you are done editing tags, do "View Image"

5.  Log in to your scoop.it account.  Install the bookmarklet for adding links.  When you create your page, title it with the question you are answering.  Then add in your thinglink image and 4 additional primary document sources.  The scoop.it should include writing that analyzes the source.

Goal is for you to utilize a new way of presenting information, that is shared, and interactive - while investigating the clash of cultures that transpired when the colonists and American citizens started pushing West.

Voting/Election Day Interview

Posted by Allen Yang in American History - Laufenberg on Tuesday, November 8, 2011 at 4:05 pm

Interview with Thomas Craig (56 years old)

Question 1. What motivated you to come out and vote? 

Response: If I didn't vote, I wouldn't have the right to complain about something that I thought wasn't right. Voice would not be heard, and no reason to say anything about anything in politics. 

Question 3: Do you vote in every election? (How regularly do you vote?) 

Response: Started voting ever since I turned 18. Now 56, so I've been voting for 38 years. 

Question 4: Do you know why we vote on Tuesday? 

Response: No, not a clue why. 

Question 6: What was the most memorable campaign ad that you have encountered? 
Response: Frank Rizzo, Ronald Reagan. Why? Not much the ad but more so what their stances and records were. 

Question 8. What chances do you hope to see in Philadelphia as a result of this election? 

Response: Not much expectations. There aren't enough good choices, I'm just here to vote on the better ones among the candidates. 

Question 9: What impact do you hope to see in Philadelphia as a result of this election? What impact do you feel that your vote will have on the election? Did you learn about voting in school? If yes, did that impact your willingness to vote today? 
 
Response: I'm just one person, but the impact is unknown. It has to count in some degrees one way or another. In school they didn't explain voting so well, I don't know if they still do today. But when I first voted? I was clueless and unsure of anything. 

Because the people who worked there didn't allow pictures to be taken I had to take this screenshot from guide.seventy.org as a way to prove that I was there.
