Extra Credit

As I stated in class on Thursday, the next three weeks will be open to an extra credit opportunity that could boost your blog grade up by .5 (on a 4.0 scale). Here's what you need to do:
Visit the REOlds Transportation Museum at 240 Museum Drive, Lansing (this is just east of the Capitol and just off of Michigan Ave.).

A link to the museum can be found here.

Be sure to keep your receipt or some sort of proof that you visited the museum.

Write a two-page paper (12 pt Times New Roman, double-spaced) about your experience at the museum. I would like you to analyze how well the museum portrayed the history of the REOlds company. Who is represented in this museum? Workers? Founders? Lansing? What was your impression of REOlds after your visit? Was it different than your impression of the REOlds family that Lisa Fine writes about in her book? Provide specific examples!

While you are there, be sure to look for the baby REO! Kind of like a Power Wheels car for a super rich kid!
