Chicago Site Visit Assignment X-tra Credit- Due anytime before you get out of here in June
In order to better acquaint yourself with the city you live in (outside of your home and neighborhood), visit a place of significance to Chicago history.  Below is a list of potential places to visit, but any place can be used so long as it is historically significant.  After your visit, complete the following.  Turn in a report for each place you visit. You can do up to three.
For each page, include the following:
1.	Proof that you were there.   You can provide a picture of you at that place or a receipt or entrance stub.
2.	One paragraph explaining the historical relevance of the site you chose to visit.  (Hint:  Why might the teacher have wanted me to visit this place?)
3.	A  paragraph describing what is different about this place now as opposed to what it used to be like.  How is the place being used now?  How does it look now?  
4.	Two paragraphs explaining how you experienced this historic place.  What did you do while you were there?  Did you have fun?  Was it interesting? What did you learn that you didn’t already know?

If there is a place that is not on the list and you would like to visit it, please email me before you go for approval.  It is understood that some of the areas in Chicago are not safe.  I encourage you to go with a group or preferably a parent or adult.  Watch out! This city has some danger in it.
