Whitney Reflections

Before midnight on Monday, April 3, post your reflections on the Whitney project. Your reflection should be approximately 1000-1300 words and address the following questions:

  • What was my central argument in my map? What did I hope to teach readers about the spaces in “My Last Will and Testament,” and why is this important?
  • Did completing this mapping assignment change how I understand Whitney? If so, how? If not, why not?
  • What did I learn by completing this assignment that I could not have learned simply through reading the poems?
  • What did I learn about the digital humanities in this experience?
  • What was my experience of using Google Maps? What were the challenges and how did overcome them? What are the benefits and drawbacks to using a mapping software program like this?
  • What would I change about this assignment to make it more relevant, informative, enjoyable, challenging, or interesting?

Please make sure that you use the “Mapping Whitney” category and that you mark your post as private:
