Summarize Riis’s report on tenements. Be sure to include conditions in tenement neighborhoods. Remember that a summary states the most important ideas from a text in your own words. Make sure to write at least one complete paragraph and include specific examples from the text.

My response: The tenements that the lower class and poorer people were living in were very dangerous to live in. They were often very overcrowded and did not have the necessary materials a house should have. Many times the conditions of these tenements would lead to death or diseases within the inhabitants. It is as if the buildings/tenements were made without realizing people are going to be living in them.

The checklist:

at least one complete paragraph

at least one specific example from the text

Riis’s ideas in your own words

that tenements were built with little concern for the people who would live in them

that tenements were overcrowded
