A collaborative effort of American History II Dual Enrollment, Nixa High School
2012
This website was generated following a class discussion on January 9, 2012. The class of juniors and seniors was in the middle of reading the novel "How the Other Half Lives" by Jacob Riis to accompany our study of Industrialization and Life in the Cities at the turn of the century. In an effort to make our book study as effective as possible, a search was made for existing book studies on this topic. We were astonished to find none. It was with that revelation we decided to embark upon the task of creating the first authoritative web site dedicated to understanding tenement life at the turn of the century and the message behind the novel by Jacob Riis.
