TS #5
On Thursday, July 9, 2020, we discussed local histories. This session had to be split into two sessions because there
was a lot involved in planning and during the session. For this session we talked
about local history from Florida State, FAMU, Tallahassee, and the different
state symbols. This session was fun because both of us were able to find and
learn something new about Florida. For example, I learned that the state has a
state play and a state gem. We also investigated the state symbols from other
states to spot the differences. Florida, for example, has saltwater and freshwater
mammals and reptiles, whereas an inland state like Nebraska would not have a
state saltwater mammal. We also discussed the early history of Florida and how
these early influences would still impact the state. For example, the Spanish
influences on the state flag and then the English influences on Tallahassee
being the state capital. This session and the following session were both created
and researched to help Hang-ah familiarize herself with Tallahassee and
Florida.
