Chicago: The Sanctuary City
"Chicago: The Sanctuary City" by Erika Luna
My video focuses on depicting Chicago as a sanctuary city for undocumented immigrants in comparison to other cities. I focused on one particular neighborhood, Little Village, as my proof of my argument. What I think is good about my video/argument is that it is easily arguable.

Differences in social classes amongst Chicagoans
"Differences in social classes amongst Chicagoans" by Paul Mikkelson
My video has a more solemn feel to it especially because the images are paired with a sad song. The point of my video is to make everyone aware of how the lowest social class needs help and the highest is flourishing in these rough times. The last point of my video is to show how the middle class is getting torn to either side, the negative effects of this and to act on this change.

Chicago and Arts
"Chicago and Arts" by Sarah Lee
This video is about the arts in Chicago and how it is displayed everywhere. It explains how Chicagoans take for granted of art that really takes part of making Chicago the way it is right now.

Where My Filipino's At?
"Where My Filipino's At?" by Gemille Tayag
This video is about how diverse Chicago is but at the same time, why is there so many other "towns" but no Filipino Town? I also say that all filipinos are opinionated with having a Filipino town in Chicago. It also describes my own opinion and experience without having one.

Chicago and Immigration

My video is about how Chicago is really segregated. I show different towns like Chinatown/Devon/Greektown to prove my point. I talk about each town, and try to prove how Chicago is very diverse but it is really segregated.

Our melting pot
"Our melting pot" by Janice Valdez
My video focuses on the type of diversity immigration has brought Chicago. I describe a little of how we are all living in the same city, yet so many of us conserve our culture and learn from each other without these immigrants, Chicago wouldn't be the place it is now.

Generations of Latinos have settled in the same regions in Chicago, them being the Pilsen community and Little Village. Exploring the traditions, heritage and values within these areas is very important to understand the people within these areas and their background. As the art in Pilsen and Little Village are explored much of Latinos heritage will be revealed as well.
Summary: Many Chicagoans think that immigrants are invading the Windy City and taking all of the available employment opportunities. However, this video will show Chicago residents that Polish Immigrants offer many benefits to the regional culture and economy of Chicago.
"Chicago and Immigrants" by Jennifer Le
Immigrants
choose to live in the same area as others in the same ethnic group
because that is there comfort zone. Chinese immigrants choose to live in
Chinatown because they have a better chance of getting jobs,
life-experiences, and the ability to communicate with others in their
language. It is not segregation; it's them adjusting themselves to a
happy life.
Charter Schools in Chicago
"Charter Schools in Chicago" by Jasmine Gonzalez
My video consists of
clips and pictures I took at the charter school I attended. It shows how
charter schools play a role in the success of a student in college and how
charter schools help students prepare for college better than other schools
would.
My viewing of parks is simply pure generosity of mother nature to give us, all creatures of this world, this precious treasure. For me gardens are places without which we could not exist, whereas “World
without gardens would be worthless”. What are the parks for you? What are for Windy City?
Graffiti Art in Chicago
Graffiti is a unique art style used to bring creativity and colorful art into dull city streets. In Chicago, graffiti is very common as it can be found almost anywhere; sadly, city officials don't support it because it "scars the community".
"Chicago and Immigration" by Ingrid Hernandez
This video is describing the main purpose as to why Latino immigrants
move to Chicago. Chicago is very broad so the video is focused in Little
Village. Despite the economy Latinos are migrating to Chicago because there are
a lot more opportunities being offered to them here.
"Chicago Parks"
"Chicago Parks" by Dan Clay
I believe the parks in Chicago are valuable resource that we need to protect. That is why i chose them for my project because we need to get people to see them as essential.
"Red Line's Diversity" by Eileen Richards
The city of Chicago is a segregated city and most of the people are afraid of getting out of their neighborhoods. A lot of times we make stereotypes about other neighborhoods and people because we haven't gotten the chance to get to know what is really going on at the other side.

Education surely has been perceived as an equalizer in America, yet it is hard to believe some children suffer from disadvantages in Chicago's school system. It can be concluded that Chicago's neighborhoods' needs affect the academic standing of a school, throughout my visual essay.
