New York: Establishing The Empire State
How did New York get the nickname Empire State? Why is New York City called the Big Apple? How did the five boroughs (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, Staten Island, and Queens) come to be one great city? What is New York’s connection to the Pledge of Allegiance? You’ll find the answers to these and so many other questions among the screens of this unit.
New York: Establishing the Empire State brings the story of New York State to the present – the aftermath of the Civil War, the leadership and corruption of Boss Tweed, Ellis Island, the Gilded Age, New York City subways, the Twin Towers, COVID-19, the state’s great cities like Rochester, Syracuse, Albany, and so much more. It’s all right here. Not to mention a gallery of New Yorkers who led the nation through good times and bad. A portrait of New York would not be complete without exploring the amazing artists and athletes from the state – from New York City buskers to Maurice Sendak, Georgia O’Keeffe, Babe Ruth, Jackie Robinson, to name just a few. New York has it all. . . and so does this unit.
Future politicians will appreciate reading about political leaders from New York and exploring the ins and outs of New York State and County government. Many will want to follow the link to meet their representatives in the federal government. History buffs will welcome the primary source descriptions, quotations, and images on almost every screen – including the complete Langston Hughes poem, “What happens to a dream deferred?” Whether your students are upstaters or downstaters, they’ll come to appreciate what it means to be a New Yorker.
