On Tuesday October 15, 2013 we went to the Brooklyn historical Society. While in the Brooklyn Historical Society we were given clear instructions on how to handle the maps because they were very delicate, that we were to point on the maps with our finger not with a pencil, not to hold up the maps, we were asked to leave our bag packs in a small place to avoid any undesired disasters, and lastly to treat the materials with respect. Groups were asked to look at maps that depicted how Brooklyn looked in the past, we also had to answer some questions about those maps in a handout that was given to us. Right towards the end of class Prof. Davis surprised us with an announcement, he stated that we were to create a speech based on the maps and that we had about 15 minutes to do it, the speeches overall were great and were presented professionally to the audience. In the end we heard some feedback from both Prof. Davis and Prof. Rosen that help us become better speakers and departed from there.
