Choose a particular topic that's of interest to you. It might be political movements like Populism and Progressivism; or the role of and opportunities for women in society; or the impact of changing technology on society (or on war); or the struggle for civil rights; or attitudes toward immigration and immigrants; or it might be something else. Think about that particular topic as a storyline in American history. Identify three or four or more events/people/turning points where that topic is especially interesting or important. Be sure to space those points out over time (our course runs from 1865 to the present). And then write an essay of about 3-4 pages in which you use those events or people to tell a story about how America changed (or didn't change) during that span of time. Not the whole story, just a story, centered on your chosen topic.

On a map showing the employment density of an urban area that follows the urban realms model, which of following statements best describes what the distribution of jobs might look like? (3 points) jobs closely follow major transit routes. jobs appear to be shifting from the inner to outer core. most jobs are concentrated around the central business district. jobs are distributed roughly in circles. several edge cities contain high numbers of jobs. which of these is not a criticism of the concentric zone model? (3 points) it does not accurately describe cities after the rise of suburban development. it only applies to cities that grew after the development of the automobile. it fails to address the development of cities outside of the united states. it assumes that inner-city areas will always be repurposed instead of abandoned. it places too much importance on the traditional central business district.
