Mapping Passing

Picture7th Avenue and 135th St., Where Larsen moved in 1927., Thadious Davis.
How would you map the excerpt from Nella Larsen's  Passing (1929)?
​
Working in your project groups, use the instructions for the 
Map and Rationale assignment on our course website as a guide. Test out Google Tour Guide, Google Custom Maps, or a combination of elements using Prezi. If you include information or images in captions on your map, cite your sources and include links. Share your maps with your instructor.

Divide up your tasks among group members:
  • At least one group member should come up with a concept for visually displaying some of the excerpt's events. These can include the contents of conversations, and their significance. See examples here.
  • Another group member should mine the text for quotations and locations.
  • Another group member should investigate Larsen's background as well as historical maps and locations from Langston Hughes's “When the Negro Was in Vogue,” or “Harlem Literati in the Twenties.”
