Project 4 Outline

Intro: Plymouth church is not any ordinary church. When you look at it you see its unique architecture that makes you think want to know why it was made this way.

Body 1:  why was Plymouth Church build? In what year did the old church was first build? how was the church at the beginning of its existence? Who build it?

Body 2: Why was it rebuild? Who rebuild it? in what location was the church rebuild? Why they picked that specific architecture? Who rebuild it?

Body 3: compare and contrast the new Plymouth church to the old one.

Conlcusion: Plymouth church is very important to New Yorks history. Rev Henry Beecher is mainly the reason why the church became known all over the world. Therefore, he was also the reason why its new architecture is the way it is today.

Project 4-Outline

Intro: The Brooklyn Bridge,completed in 1883, was a crowning achievement in New York history.

Body 1: Why was the bridge needed? What did it do for NY?

Body 2: John A. Roebling- Person who designed the bridge.

Body 3: Longest suspension bridge in the bridge. Will talk about facts about the history.

Conclusion: Restating the Thesis statement- The Brooklyn Bridge, completed in 1883, was a crowning achievement in New York history.

Brainstorming about Project 4

The location I chose to write about for Project 4 is “The Brooklyn Bridge”. I chose this location because the history behind it interests me a lot and I wanna learn about the historical values it has behind it. So I will be writing about the history behind the bridge. I am very excited to research all the information behind it and write a well developed story about it. I decided to change my location that I used for Project 2 because I wrote about two buildings rather than a specific location.

Brainstorming project 4.

Thinking about project 4 made me contemplate if I should reuse the Brooklyn Bridge as my location or to discover a new location due the the fact that with all the research I’ve done on the Brooklyn Bridge why not use this opportunity to learn about another. Now to find another location that interests would require me to take another walk around City Tech maybe I should walk the direction towards Adams Street to see if I can find something new there. I’ve been thinking about the location ever since Professor Rosen announced project 4 and I’m getting very eager to take this walk around CityTech and try to find this new location. This location will have to have two interesting vantage points, also must come with an abundance of credible sources where I could utilize to support my claims.

Project 4

Intro-The Brooklyn Bridge is what comes to mind to every single person once the Borough of Brooklyn is mentioned. It has various historical events and stories throughout its years of existence. Two key accounts are the the Brooklyn Bridge’s past state and its present state.

Body I- The Brooklyn Bridges past state

Body II-The Brooklyn Bridges present state

Body III-Comparison of both accounts

Conclusion-Restating and development of thesis: Two key accounts in the Brooklyn Bridges history are its past and present state.

 

Brainstorming Poject 4

For project four am decided to write about Plymouth Church because since I did my informative speech on it I’ve already done research about it and it really intrigues me to know more about this church and its history. Is fascinating that this place is so near from City Tech and that through out history it has had a great affect on slavery. Even President Lincoln has visited the church. On project four I mainly would be writing about the change the church had when the place burned out years ago and how they rebuild it according to Beechers desire. They accommodated the seats in a way that all the people would fit in the church to listen to Beecher preach.

Brainstorming about Project 4

First of all since I received project 4 its been a hard time thinking about the location I want to talk about because the location has to be the same for both the classes Speech and English. But after thinking a lot I decided that I have no option instead of going with BHS because that was the topic for my informative speech. The one big that gets me worried is what two stories are there on BHS i can talk about in my essay. As per my research from my informative speech there is not much information out there on BHS expect on its official webpage. But if I take everything from a single resource that would not be considered credible. That is the reason I wanted to write about Brooklyn Bridge because there is tons of information online. One question that came in my mind is that I want to use the reading did in class about BHS but I dont know how to use it correctly. Like where to put that information, how to cite it, can that be counted as one of my stories. And if you can give me an example  how to relate it with something so i get two stories.

Brainstorm of Project #4

Since I am too lazy to think of another location as our walking tour, and Fulton Street (Mall) is the only place I am interested in Downtown Brooklyn; therefore, I think I will keep my location, Fulton Street (Mall) as my topic on my project #4. In this project, I will talk about this place “value”, probably the current and future value, and the personal value from people. And I also will focus on two vantage points, the owners of the store and the customers, to tell the importance of this place and why this shopping place should be in the walking tour from their point of view. However, I still have problem on this project; because Fulton Street is not as popular as Soho, there is not much creditable information on the internet. I might use the opinion on the blog, although I understand I should not do that, but they still shows people view on Fulton Street.

For Wednesday’s class, 11/13

The blogging assignment due on Wednesday is to brainstorm about Project #4. If you have questions, thoughts, ideas, frustrations, dead-ends, hopes and dreams about it, include them in your blog post.

Remember that you need to pin your location on the map by Thursday. If you don’t know your location, seek advice from me, Prof. Davis, and your classmates! If you need instructions for pinning your location, please ask–I’m sure that many of us can answer that question.

In class, we’ll write about our selection from The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien.
