My guiding question or thought for this little project was mostly based around Chicago newspapers in the mid to late 19th century and the presence of Indigenous people/problems in their newspapers, because we hear about Reconstruction mostly in relation to the abolition of slavery, reuniting the country post civil war, life in the south, the […]

This is one of, if not the, hardest digital scholarship tool I have used. It made me a little insane. It made me lose sleep. It gave me a headache. To give Flourish a little bit of credit, I am not a math girly or a data science girly, so some of this took a

I had a bit of trouble deciding at first what I wanted to make a PowerPoint on until I thought back to my video game experience within Jennifer’s class.

I wanted to tell the story of the Pamunkey River because it holds a lot of significance and recognition in the Pamunkey culture. It was interesting to learn about the culture of the Pamunkey Indian tribe

I’ve really enjoyed getting to do more technical activities and technical assignments. It takes a bit of a learning curve but I’ve liked seeing the different ways how history can be taught as well as learning about the software that does it. I decided to focus this map around the first chapter of Cooling the

This is definitely more of an exploration into Storymap JS using some information I found vaguely interesting in order to
