Reflection paper on Chief Vann House
Now, remember, these papers are short. But they should fill that one page. You have to make sure you have a thesis; something you are trying to argue. Do not argue make an argument in the vein of "The Chief Vann House national park site has both succeeded and failed at preserving the history of the Cherokee nation." There is not a right answer, so pick one. Include an introductory paragraph, and paragraph/s to back up your argument. You can't say everything in one page, so pick the most important thing/s you want to discuss.

The Chief Vann House is a historic site that has, fortunately, been preserved in North Georgia. How well has the site done in capturing the history of the Cherokee people who once lived in North Georgia.

Remember to back up your argument with very specific examples.

In your paper, reflect on how well you think Atlanta has preserved its history, particularly in regard to black Atlantans and the civil rights movements.
