Historical Site Visit and Report. History assignment

This is the requirement for the assignment, it asked me to go to a location and I’ve been there, took some pictures already, I will upload the pictures and the requirement to the writer, also the book content. The other requirements are the following:
Objective: Go out and experience—some aspect of Asian American history—first-hand to develop a greater and deeper appreciation for history, human diversity, cultural pluralism, lifelong learning, and community engagement.
This is part of experiential learning that gives you an opportunity to connect what you learn about Asian American history in class readings, lectures, and other learning materials to the real world. You must visit this site during this semester, it can not be something that you did in the past.
Due: Check current syllabus and iLearn
Scope: You can visit any site/place that is directly associated with Asian American history.
For example:
Chinese Historical Society of America (in SF Chinatown)
Tour of Angel Island;
Manzanar;
Tule Lake;
Viet Museum in San Jose;
Japanese American Museum, San Jose, and so on.
If you are not in the San Francisco Bay Area, you can find a local site/place that is historically significant or documents and preserves Asian American history. For example, China Ally in Hanford, California; Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
This does not have to be around the SF Bay Area. It can be anywhere in the United States, as long as you are near it and can attend/visit it.
There will be a Discussion Forum for you to share sites you know about or have visited and wish to share with your peers. START looking and plan for this ahead of time.
If you have a question about the place you want to visit, email Prof. Lee for approval to see if it is appropriate. This place must be related to Asian American history in some manner. So, for example, the "Asian Art Museum” or "Japanese Garden in Golden Gate Park" while interesting and wonderful will not qualify. Chinatown in general, will not qualify, so make sure you select a specific site in Chinatown (such as the Chinese Historical Society of America).
Assignment:
After attending a historical Asian American site, you must write a 4-5 pages, double-spaced, Critical Reflection on the experience. You must do the following:
Write about the site and your experiences there. You must visit the site while enrolled in this class and may not write about a site that you visited in the past.
Analyze, as best as you can, the history and community (demographics, such as gender, age, race, ethnicity), practices, beliefs, architecture, and location.
Engage with theories and concepts from weeks 4 and 5 to assist in developing analysis (such as racial formation, Loewen's argument about U.S. history education, or Ethnic Studies and Asian American Studies as counter-narratives, and so on). Apply the concepts to the data you collected at your site so you are not just describing historical data. You visited a site: what does it reveal about Asian American history? What does the site tell you? What type of historical narrative is achieved or communicated at this site? What does it say about "history v. History"? Why does this site matter? Who does it matter for? In addition. the primary textbooks also engage with theories, critiques, and arguments: pull them out and emphasize them in your report.
You MUST directly engage with at least 3 assigned readings from the class (which means fulsome and thoughtful use of citations, and not just one random quote);
Relate your experiences to class materials, such as assigned readings, films, lectures, discussions. In order to do this well, you will need to interact with people at the event or site/place you visited. Ask questions, and do not be shy!
You must use proper citations and quotations using MLA, APA, Chicago, or Harvard styles for writing, and engage with class readings and other learning materials;
You must use proper citations and quotations using MLA, APA, Chicago, or Harvard styles for writing, and engage with class readings and other learning materials;
Do not just describe what you did and what you saw. You must provide analysis in your discussion and link your experience to larger issues, theories, and discussions. Your experience is “data” which you will use to anchor a thoughtful discussion on a topic that is related to Asian American history that meaningfully connects to the class;
Lastly, you must provide proof of attendance, such as a photo of you at the event or site. This photo can be cut/pasted into your report and submitted through TurnItin. For example, a selfie of you in front of the site that clearly shows the name of the site. Please resize the photo so that it downloads quickly, and so that you can ensure it will upload on TurnItIn. Files that are too large will not be able to be submitted. Photos without you clearly in it will not suffice as proof of attendance.
Failure to provide proof of attendance will result in an automatic 0 points, which is a failing grade for this assignment.
Note: If you want Prof. Lee to review drafts of this assignment, you must request this before Week 12.
Tip: Be aware of only summarizing: this assignment calls for analysis, which means your ability to: apply things you learn in the class to the real world; your ability to synthesize theoretical concepts (unpacking the theory, testing the theory, questioning the theory); your ability to critique arguments, ideas, theories covered in class materials; your ability to offer your own unique insights into an issue; and your ability to put various voices into a dialogue.
For example:
A says "..." which confirms B's notion of ..... but differs from C's conclusion about....; My experience suggest name-a-concept is valid because....; Name-a-concept argues that... which A, B, and Z validated in their research. However, another school of thought contends....
