When writing a textbook for the State of New York, I would direct my textbook toward college students who are looking to become Elementary School teachers. It is nearly impossible as an Elementary school teacher to know everything there is to know about New York State when on top of it they are also teaching other subjects. When thinking as a teacher, I think it would be a good idea to break up the book according to topic/time period. For example, the Antebellum Industrialization, immigration, and reform (1825 -1860) would be the chapter name and then the history of New York during that time. It would be a comprehensive history of New York from the years 1825 to 2001 making this a part 2 textbook. Along with information about each topic/time period such as important events and people, I think it would be great for teachers to have resources for students to further explore a topic that they are interested in, whether it be a museum, websites (virtual tours), videos, etc. This would be extremely beneficial for teachers because technology now plays a major role in teaching so I think it would be useful for teachers to know these resources. The students will surely also benefit from those extra resources. When it comes to learning about New York State History, I feel as though it should coincide with NYS standards and what Elementary School teachers are suppose to be teaching their students. I would use that as my guidelines as how in depth I need to get for each topic being taught. Overall, I think it is important to create a textbook that would be a great resource for teachers to learn about the State of New York, and as well as have a clear understanding of what needs to be taught at the Elementary level.

*Westchester County has nearly one million residents living throughout the 450 square miles and its population is larger than five states and 77 countries (Westchester gov.com, 2014). This region has a lot to offer historical; Westchester County played a key role in the American Revolution, cultural; arts, music, theater, museums, gardens, literary arts, cultural centers, and so on, geography; its locale is right along the Long Island Sound on the southeast and the Hudson River on the west, rolling hills, retaining rural characters, while adopting the urban and suburban lifestyles and New York City in close proximity, and population trends; the county’s population grew 3% between the 2000 and 2010 Census (Arts Westchester, n.d., Westchester

New York City, in the first half of the eighteenth century, was a growing seaport city, with people of many walks of life, comingling to create one of the most important trade cities in colonial America. With such a diverse representation of people living and working relatively close to one another, extenuating circumstances, fears, based on race and biases against the lower classes, many of its citizens were manipulated into a belief that an uprising was found out and suppressed.
