the scholl will be very interesting...
My house because it was designed by famous architects in 1880s.
I mean school
I would like to do something on murders in the 1900's. Murders are an interesting topic, earlier murders seem to be somewhat different than murders in current times. I'd like to research a particular murder, but as of right now I'm not sure what particular murder I will write my report on.
I wanna research sun ra's years in chicago. I would research how his philosophies relate to the music.
my original thought was emma goldman's role in the haymarket riots because a) she's fascinating and b) i don't know as much about the haymarket riots as i want to.
now, however, i'm thinking about the way john dewey's philosophy has faded out of the policies of teaching here. i could study emma goldman anywhere, but this is my last year here and i know little to nothing about this school's history.
oh and two things
this is hope
and sam, i'll be curious to see what you find out. my dad's a huge fan of sun ra.
I am intrested in, anything to do with illegal matters such as,
The Mafia,
Drugs,
Graffiti,
Really anything illegal because, I find it interesting some how, in not sure why...
I am thinking about doing the murderer at the world's or maybe the scientific racism. I am not completely sure yet but I am leaning more towards the murderer at the world's fair.
Hi Ms. Yourist.
I'm thinking of doing the history of jazz or blues. Or maybe the mafia in Chicago because I have a big book on the mafia and that would be cool. The mafia could also be including The Big Tuna and that room thing. I would want to do jazz or blues because I like jazz and blues and I never really learned about the history of that and I think that would be interesting.

I want to choose the Saint Valentine's Day Masscre because I am interested in murders and the mystery behind the crime.
Main Architect was George Mayor
Im doin the narcotics trade.
Im doing it because i know alot about drugs in general but i dont know much about the actual trade.
i think i want to research the thing you showed us like about the human brain and "if your nose is long then you are greedy" because i think it's very interesting and i'd like to find out more about it.
FROM JACKIE
i wanna do early movies in chicago, or drugs in chicago. movies, because i love movies and i watch a lot of them (not as many as hope but a lot) so it'll be really intresting to see the changes between old movies and new movies. if i do drugs, its because they're really intresting and they're all over the place now so i wanna see what they were like a long time ago.
i would like to do a crime case in chicago, like the leopold and leolb case, but that was done before so i am thinking it would be really fun to research the big tuna. or murder cases
those are really cool, yeah i will do a big murder case from the 1920's
I'm not really very sure...
I think I might want to do something related to the school, probably the history behind some small thing, that was not exactly known...
The World's Fair is rather interesting as well though. The whole idea of a Fair of the WORLD is pretty awesome in itself... do they still have world's fairs?
Phrenology is also quite interesting... but then i did that last year...
ARG.
I tried reading Samantha at the World's Fair but it got slightly...boring.
ARG.
ms. yourist-
I am not sure at all of what ant to research. Preferably I would like to do something that would involve calling random people I don't know, like, people who went to this school or something, and finding out what they do and such...
I do not know...
Je ne connais pas.
JB. I am interested in doing the early chicago mafia because of all the famous history there is in the mob in chicago.
hey its me jack!!!
I want to do fast food because food tastes good. Except I am not a big fan of McDonald's, but that's okay. I don't like gum either, but I will be okay with researching when it was invented. Even though I have issues with some fast foods, I still like food and will enjoy looking at it in books. Food is good.
I want to research the Mcormicks... maybe.
I really want to know about those big machines that used to be here. that fountain may also be interesting, but I really want to do research on those big rooms.
phycos in chicago like the coco place and some really crazy people, but if malvika decides not to do her things in the murder of the worlds fair, i would like to think about doing that
ohOH. i know!
The murderer at the world's fair!!!
yay.
I have not read Devil in the White City...
[i started it yesterday]
but if the person was at all like jack the ripper, I want to research that.
Maybe,

Hello! i am interested in the following topics...
Marshall Fields
The University of Chicago Basement
(behind the scenes)
These will, without a single doubt, change. i'm trying to figure out my "why" question for these. I really want to reearch Marshall Fields because....
1. Im interested in fashion
2. The role of department stores in Chicago impact a lot things....(heehee)
3. It is an important part of chicago.
4. I would like to know why its such a landmark here
For the basement...
1. No one really knows whats behind the locked doors
2. There are showers down there, (why)
3. There are all these mysteries, and secret passage ways.
4. There are dates and names and plaques on the walls
5. And lastly, no one really understands and appreciates the kitchen staff, and the conditions they work in. i've seen the kitchen, and it is bad news bears...I think thats the most interesting of all
6. If i were to do this, i would interview a kitchen staff member, a drama teacher (there are secret passages in the high school drama room) and mr. wildeman....
(YAY)

Bring old texbooks por favor!
I want to do what history looked like, and how they distort history. Then connect that to a specific instance that is taught today, but has a darker side to it.
