For this chapter video we could include how grains, seafood, vegetables, meat and beverages each arrived at their markets. We can use animation on a map of the United States to trace where they came from. Or even better, we can pick one of the foods to do this for and then zoom in on a few particular details. For example, we could trace the path of oysters to the city and continue the video with a skit (a voice over with images would be easier) portraying the most captivating findings about them. This is one specific part of the research though, so we could change it and have a different focus.

If you are specifically focusing on the transport of food to the markets, then incorporating a map would definitely be a good idea. The animation sounds really good, especially if you could some how use icons of oysters, meat, veggies etc actually moving along their route towards New York City.
Skits sound really creative. We should include that in our video too.
I like the idea of tracing food orgin, its a cool way to look at the history and significance of how markets developed their culture. My group is doing colonial era market development and population growth so we’ll be looking at how the influx of European settlers correlated to market development and diversification. If you need any info on who brought what foods over definitely hit us up!
