Everyone,
I hope your finals are going well and you are hanging in there for this week’s final push.
Here are the instructions for final project submissions:
Each team is to create a new post called “Final Project Submission Team” X.
In this post cut and paste your Final Outline and Final Annotated Bib text directly into the post.
For your podcast/multimedia presentation, please do the following:
- Upload your presentation to a cloud site (Youtube, Google Drive, Dropbox, City Tech Microsoft One Drive…)
- Add a link to the presentation to your new post.
- Add the cover image (jpeg format) of your presentation to the post as well.
- Upload a copy of your presentation to the course dropbox folder here: https://www.dropbox.com/request/6fRPsu212a0CfFQsYmSR
Complete these steps by Thursday, May 21 at 9:00am.
We look forward to seeing your presentations on Thursday.
Profs. Leonard and Montgomery
Everyone,
After reviewing each teams Annotated Bibs, Outlines, and one practice recording of the final presentation, I offer the following feedback:
- Annotated Bibs
- Many of the sources are newspaper articles or news websites. Your sources should be more diverse to follow best research practices.
- If you are using maps, census data, real estate data, historic photos, be sure to add these to your annotated bibliography as they are important primary sources.
- In your annotation, be sure to make the connection between the source and the research question. Why is this source useful? What does the source reveal in regard to the research question?
- Also be sure to evaluate the source: How reliable is the information?
- Outlines:
- Should be more substantial and include notes on sources that will be used in each section
- Final Presentation:
- Script and Practice: A practice round reveals where the script needs refinement to make the discussion more clear.
- Visuals: Add visuals, especially maps of zip codes, zoning, and census tracks to help provide reference and context for the discussion. (Include these in annotated bib)
- Interviews: You can add interviews to annotated bib. I will provide information regarding our visit to the woodshop if you reference this interview.
Everyone,
As we have been doing the previous weeks, tomorrow morning we will meet for 25 minutes and then shift to team meetings.
Please send invites or post invites to your team meetings by 9:00am tomorrow morning.

Hope everyone’s having a good week and staying safe and healthy. As you know, drafts of the script for the final projects are due on Thursday. You don’t need to submit them as you would a formal, graded assignment, but each team should be able to share it with us during the 1 on 1 team meetings. Be ready with any questions you have about the final presentations. Our schedule Thursday follows a familiar pattern, starting with a meeting with everybody at 9am; see below for zoom link and schedule of team meetings. One person from each team should schedule a meeting and invite all members and your instructors.

Please review these questions in advance of our visit to Interference Archive via video tomorrow:
Many teams’ research questions look at relationships between: Environment / Architecture & Development / Humans (health, jobs, culture, community). As you watch the exhibition video please consider the following for our post-viewing discussion:
How does the exhibit illustrate relationships between environment and other social justice causes (race, labor, capitalism, etc)?
Which of these intersections are also things you’ve observed and thought about in relation to the Gowanus?
Focus on (and write down) 1 or 2 organizations or events mentioned in the exhibition video. Have you encountered these organizations or their work in the course of your research? What do you think makes their work effective (or not)?
Hope everyone is doing well this week. Annotated bibliographies are due on Thursday 4/30 (5pm!) and we’ll have a brief all-class meeting followed by short team check-ins. We’ll use the second half of Thursday’s class meeting to visit Interference Archive and tour the exhibit A Visual History of Climate Justice. Stay tuned for discussion questions. Teams should be prepared to introduce themselves and their research question to our facilitators.
9-9:20 all class meeting: looking ahead to script drafts for 5/7 and the final project
Team check-ins; one person on each team should invite your teammates and your instructors to the meeting
9:25-9:40 Team 1
9:45-10:00 Team 2
10:05-10:20 Team 3
10:25-10:40 Team 4
10:45-10:55 Team 5
11-12:30: Interference Archive visit starts at 11 sharp, resuming (re-zooming?) the same zoom meeting as below). Stay tuned for discussion questions to review in advance of our visit; be prepared to join in the discussion after we view the exhibition video.

Thanks, everyone, for productive conversations about your outlines and bibliographies today. Final versions of team outlines are due by 5pm today and annotated bibliographies are due next Thursday 4/30. Projects are coming together and I am really impressed with your consistency given these very difficult times. Here’s a guide to writing an annotated bibliography, including verbs and phrases for writing about texts. The Purdue OWL has a guide as well. Remember that your annotations should really reflect on how that source helps you answer your question. Make the summary as short as possible, and don’t pad your word count by restating the author’s name or the document title. Each person on a team should cite and annotate 3 sources, and each annotation should be at least 100 words. A source does not have to be text; it can be visual, like a photo, map, or documentary video. Aim for a mix of primary and secondary sources, and if you have questions, please get in touch.
A few of the places to further your research mentioned in class:
Brooklyn Community District 6 Profile – demographic data and a lot more
Digital Collections from the New York Public Library – historical photos and maps, free for everyone; also the map warper for georectified historical fire insurance maps
Digitized historical Brooklyn newspapers, especially the Brooklyn Eagle (1841-1963) – free for everyone from the Brooklyn Public Library
Social Explorer to explore current and historical demographic data and create thematic maps – log in with the LIB barcode from your college ID.
For 24/7 research help, chat with a librarian.
I’ll post details about our virtual field trip to Interference Archive as soon as I can.
Stay safe and healthy, everyone.
