Our second day at the Chicago History Museum went very well. I liked the DBQ’s. I wish I had attended the session that Chip had presented at the college. I want to try and set up some “micro” DBQ’s for my third grade students. I did notice a few areas I do teach or that I could use in the 2nd binder. I could use these to help set some DBQ’s on Pueblo history (CF&I, The Flood, Creation of the reservoir), communities overtime (colonial mid 1700’s, industrial mid 1800’s, and modern – today.), or on immigration (ethnic portions of cities and movement from one area to another). I enjoyed the Old Town walking tour. Our guide was hard to hear, he needed a little microphone and speaker, but he was very knowledgeable on the information he presented to us.
After the tour I went to Navy Pier I was disappointed. I thought there would be more going on down there.
