Lucas Kukulka-In class, Mapping the locals

New York D.I.Y

This project talks about the counter culture in New York city. It examines events and places that represent this attitude in New York. Pictures are provided for support as well as how the specifically pinned places represent this culture.
Yes this could be an effective model if my theme is examining a certain culture and places that really represent that specific attitude as well as provide the city with something.

Final Project by Marion Hope

This project is very unclear as to what it is about. It seems as though the author had the concentration of the arts in mind. She selected various places throughout New York City that all had something to do with a type of art and wrote about them, but did not say why she did that.
This could be effective with a more clear cut research question. Picking topics with a central theme is always helpful.

Come Together NYC
This author chose locations that seemed to bring people together. The author uses a wide variety a places to support this, such as a tiny restaurant, art gallery, and renegade fair. All these place according to the author promote a togetherness feeling.
This is effective model, because the author does a really great job of showing how all these places bring people closer together. I would have statement at the beginning of the project so readers do not have to discover for themselves what the project is exactly about.

Modern Gomorrah

This project is about the arts in New York City. It examines places in New York that all have some artistic value to them.
This is a great example because the locations to support the project do a really good job. The author explains really well how these places have an affect on the city and how they a great examples of the arts.
