Good morning, everyone. I hope your weekend was good. Professor Duddy and I have been enjoy reading your discussion threads. A few action items: again, please be ready to speak briefly, no more than ten minutes at the most with 2-3 images, about your site. We will also talk about the reading. Here are a few questions to foster our discussion:
Explain why settlement houses might have been necessary around the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth century.
What services might patrons—men, women, and children—receive from a settlement house?
What type of people might have led the Settlement House Movement? Broadly speaking, what was their class and ethnicity?
What does it say that women were among the leaders of the Settlement House Movement?
How surprised are you that many settlement houses exist today in the twentieth century?
How, if at all, might the services offered by settlement houses differ today than they did a century ago? How, if at all, might the patrons and their needs differ?
What surprised you the most about Wonder Women of History itself?
Who was the audience for the Wonder Women of History series?
Artistically how does the reading work, in terms of both the text and the graphics?
Other takeaways?
