Directions: In pairs you will compare and contrast historic photos of specific avenue/street locations to the same location on google maps using street view. Each student will need a computer, one to go to the NY Historical Site the other should go to Google Maps. Research 2-3 photos from different avenues/streets listed below. Use the worksheet to write down your observations. Finally, on the back of your worksheet there is a place for you to generate hypothesis and research questions about why, how and when the area in question changed.
