My mother is from Queens, NY, her grandparents immigrated from Naples and Palermo, Sicily in the early 1900’s. My father was born and raised in Haifa, Israel, and then later a farm village near Tel Aviv, Israel before immigrating to the United States. I was born on the lower east side, and raised in the east 70’s.
I was born and raised in Queens, NY. My parents are both from Colombia and I am the first person in my family to be born in the United States. I love eating ethnic food, especially new foods I have never eaten before.
Hello, my name is Rose! I’m an Asian-American student born and raised in New York City, and an aspiring writer going into the creative writing major. I’m a terrible procrastinator and often late, but I’m sure to break those bad habits over time. My goal at the moment is to learn all I can while enjoying my time here at Hunter College.
Hi everyone:
Welcome to your “East Harlem Blog”. This site should help you collect and analyze data that you are gathering from your field visits to East Harlem, as well as learn the WordPress skills necessary for you to create and design your own WordPress site– a website that presents the issues most pertinent to East Harlem and its residents.
On this site, we will create an online image gallery. This will help you see themes in the photos, as well as edit images for the final project. Here we will also test applications like Dipity and Voicethread to find the best way to visualize and present your research. We can test different mapping software, 3-D sketch-ups, or, if you have a special vision for your final project, we can learn other applications together here. Additionally, you can use this site to post text that can be collaboratively edited for your final project. Think of this space as a place to test run various ideas for your final project.
If you have an E-portfolio account, you should log in and add this course site to your sites. You can do this by clicking “add me” on the left side of the blog. I look forward to meeting everyone and working together.
