Photoessay #2811 - Tough task for my class

The task for the members of my class is formidable.  The professor runs this as an experiment.  Take the material from the archives and spin an original story.  To me, his message is to bring something original using archival material yet put it into appropriate historical context.  Pretty tall order for a small class of undergraduates.

Though it might seem like there's a lot in the archives, it's hard to collect the right amount of items that's going to be a good web story.  And, we're missing the point if we look too far afield.  Yeah, cool pictures of some of the classes at Settlement House but there's not a good picture of the house.

It's still not clear to me.  But lucky for me, I discovered today that my partner Katy is really good with the html and the going back and forth between web apps.  That's a real plus.  Also Katy and I are the only ones working together.

Not sure how this is going to come out.  One of the pictures from the NCJW file of classes taught at Settlement House.
