Students finished reading and annotating Jane Addams' obituary, and then collaborated to add the most essential information about what her life represents of the national and global events of the time -- to their EQ pages. I shared a few pictures that relate to her hometown of Cedarville (5 miles from my hometown of Freeport in the unglaciated hills of NW IL and where I lived and attended Jane Addams Elementary School for kindergarten). It's a population similar to Crescent City, and her childhood home is still there as is her grade school; it is also where she is buried, in a humble, standard grave plot in the little, local cemetery.
