  • Illinois Geography Lapbook Can Help You to Further Explore the Wonderful State of Illinois
    Creating an Illinois Geography Lapbook can help you to further explore the wonderful state of Illinois. Basic instructions on creating a lapbook are available at the bottom of this page along with templates and images for use in your lapbook. Geography is more than just the physical make up of a location, it is also about the people, their interaction with the environment and nature. I hope to have touched on each of these in some way in this lapbook study. How to Use This Page You will find many facts and interesting items on this page and on the Illinois Geography page. There is too much information to include in a beginning lapbook session. Take a few minutes to first pick what you feel is important for your student to know or what might be interesting to him or her. I recommend no more than one or two items from each category per lapbooking session. The option to expand on this topic is always there but cover what you believe is important first. THEN Do activities that relate to the topic, for example the State dance is a Square Dance. Look up online the basic Square Dance steps and try them or take a Square Dancing class. Follow up by putting a dance diagram in the lapbook. Be creative in trying new things and experiment with more than the templates. If your child is artistic, let her/him draw. If your child learns by hands-on activities make an invention. Is your child musically inclined, sing the state song.

Pullman is a special, historic place both in Chicago and nationally. Our neighborhood was listed in the Illinois State Register of Historic Places in 1969, National Register of Historic Places in 1971, and became a City of Chicago Landmark District in 1972. Most recently, Pullman was designated a National Monument by former President Barack Obama on February 19, 2015. The site was recognized, among other things, for its critical role in American labor history and as the nation’s first planned industrial town. In addition, Pullman is noted for its significant architecture, urban planning, landscape architecture, and its important role in industrialization. The neighborhood is home to the Pullman State Historic Site and the National Park Service Visitor Center, which are working on some of the largest preservation projects currently underway at both the state and national levels. Living in such an honored landmark community affords many benefits and entails certain responsibilities. With all of our remarkable designations, the City of Chicago Landmark District is the one that directly impacts the preservation and renovation of private property.

  • Planned Communities and Pullman
    CHAPTER 4 PLANNED COMMUNITIES AND PULLMAN 4.A A General History of Planned Communities Pullman, Illinois is among the most influential planned company towns in the United States, but it was not the first or the last. A planned community features a spatial arrangement and other characteristics both physical and social that were calculated and designed in advance for a particular intended outcome. The first planned community in the US was New Haven, Connecticut, whose nine-square layout defined the independent colony starting in 1638. Throughout the nineteenth century, planned communities included utopian communities separated both for practical and philosophical ideals. Currently, the New Urbanism movement has created planned communities whose dense residential units interspersed with grocery stores, schools, and other amenities challenge the unplanned nature of suburban sprawl. The first of these was Seaside, Florida (1981) and examples more recently, like Atlantic Station, Georgia (2005), often reclaim brownfield sites and include conscious efforts at environmental remediation and improvement. A company town is a special kind of planned community specifically designed by an employer to house and provide services for employees. The idea has ancient roots but gained significant followers wherever industrial production spread in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.339 Some companies created model villages or model industrial towns intended to demonstrate the perceived advantages of paternalistic planning for ameliorating the overcrowding and inequality being caused by new industrial systems. Pullman stands out among American company towns as being perhaps the most thoroughly planned and comprehensively integrated with company agendas, both of which contributed to the ultimate downfall of George Pullman’s vision and served as cautionary lessons to companies building towns in later years.
