Student Web Projects

"The Gigantic Question" in Washington Irving's History of New York:  An "edition" of the chapter in Irving's work that subjects European justification for taking Native American land to ridicule.  The goal was to give students a taste of one kind of "real" work scholars do.  Diversity of approach was encouraged so the site can be used as a teaching tool, spurring discussion in future classes on  what is effective web design and what isn't.  Done in an upperlevel English class, Spring 1999.  (Edward J.

Reel American History:  This project, begun Fall 1999, is still a draft, very much under construction.  Students in successive semesters will gradually build an archive of information on films about American history.  Among the films of interest to SEA members are Last of the Mohicans, Pocahontas, Cabeza de Vaca, 1492: Conquest of Paradise, I, The Worst of All, Plymouth Adventure, Black Robe, With Daniel Boone Thru the Wilderness, The Last Supper.  (Edward J.
