| Notes about this image: | New York's Hester Street, c. 1888. Looking west from Clinton Street toward the Bowery. Popularly known as the Pig-Market, this stretch of the street was the principal shopping center of the most crowded slum district in the city. The Tenth Ward, known to the health offices as the "typhus ward" and to the Bureau of Vital Statistics as the "suicide ward." Into these tenements human beings were packed more densely than anywhere else in the world - London's worst slums and the rabbit warrens of China and India not excepted. |

“The History Project experience is usually described [by Elk Grove teachers] as high quality, easily applicable and very collaborative. Teachers enjoy being treated like professionals and enjoy their opportunities to network and collaborate with other professionals at these workshops. Teachers generally comment on the importance of learning new content. Even the veteran history teacher will remark that he or she is never too experienced to learn new things and it is clear that this enthusiasm has to carry over into the classroom. The program has changed the philosophy and the approach that some teachers are taking to teaching literacy in the history classroom.”
