in class mapping

Kelsie Cage

D.I.Y. New York City

• This project is based on students experiencing activities that an individual can do themselves in New York City. They are places based on local artists and music scenes. There audience is directed towards college students, probably ones that are not from NY. It gives insight to different venues, how much things cost, the history of it, what you can expect and where it is located. This piece maps out directly the writers trip in NY, stating exactly what day they went to what place.

• I could see myself partaking in a research activity such as this one. It was a good model and provided interesting insight to the social scene for college students in NY. I think this would be a good model to use here in Denver with all the music, clubs, art shows, and events that take place in the city. However, I think the picture where a little much at sometimes...

Final Project

• this project was directed more towards the history of New York itself. The author talks about art museums and the historical sites that NY is home to. However, her audience still seems to be directed to college students. Her places are spots where college students would go to in order to learn more about the city. The restaurant she mentions is a fine dining and historical place, however she integrates why it might be compelling to college students.

• This is a good model as well, a different approach. She did not use picture, but hyperlinks instead. I thought that was a clever idea not to overwhelm the reader and provided the reader the choice of having additional information.

Come Together NYC

• This piece was more direct with the information, it covered the same art, restaurants, music scene, etc. as the other but in a slightly different manner. It provided the details of each location and event, while providing the appropriate amount of pictures and even videos

• I'm not quiet sure but I didn't like this one as much, it wasn't as personable

Modern Gomorrah

• all these research-based maps are all located in the same area and touch on the same themes. They are just written and formatted differently. This one was written a little more matter of fact with good details. This could be direct to any audience that was interested in visiting NY.
