Gotham city?

Is this an image of Gotham city? Look carefully.

Gotham city/ Settlement

On December 1st, as we were having our classes on AIDS' day, a student asked me why we were doing that, he said it had nothing to do with Geography. My final answer was that Geography means asking questions about the world around us
In this new topic we can ask a very basic question Why is this city/village there?
Let's do it with Gotham. Why was Gotham built there? Can you see any similarities to other cities? Why are there skyscrappers in Gotham? And why is crime an issue in Gotham?

Exams

You probably know by now that History exams are usually connected to:
a. Causes: Why did that happen?
b. Events: What happened? How did it happen?
c. Consequences. What effect did those events have in history? or in people's lives?

Bilingual exams worry about your ability to express these causes, the events and the consequences, both in written and in oral form. So you are expected to create short texts 25 to 100 words: writing.
You must be able to understand some texts: reading.
And you are also expected to use some especific vocabulary.
In this particular exam I woul like you to comment a photograph or any sort of illustration like a comic strip, similar to the one we saw today.
I hope you like these comments.

Some of you may like a more artistic approach to this War, here comes a piece of propaganda, as good as any of the comics we read.

American fighters

New York's famous 369th regiment arrives home from France, 1919.
Nicknamed the Harlem Hellfighters, the 369th Regiment was the first all-black regiment to fight in World War I. They arrived in France in 1918 and fought on the front lines for six months, longer than any other American unit during the war.

Are you surprised to see black men? Not only did they come from the US there were Black African men from the colonies fighting in the trenches.
