The Industrial Revolution

This week we will be concentrating on the Industrial Revolution. As we go through vocabulary, reading guides, and notes, keep in mind the changes to society brought on by this world changing event. All of the information covered this week, can be found in chapter 13 of the textbook.

Monday: vocabulary
Tuesday: section 1 reading guide
Wednesday: notes/section 3 reading guide
Thursday: review for test
Friday: Test

Remember: You may turn in all work this week when finished, but you can choose to keep it until Friday, for the purpose of studying for the test.

Journal due today!

Today, we will hand in our completed journals. If you missed a class period, and did not have a chance to make entries, you should come to my room before school, after school, during lunch, or studyhall to watch the part of the film you missed. This will need to be accomplished before we go home for spring break.

To sum up the lesson on Lewis and Clark, you will be asked to complete a map of the United States as it looked at the time of the expedition. There will also be a reading about a Shawnee Indian, named Tecumseh.

More Lewis and Clark

As we continue with the PBS- Ken Burns film: Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery, you will be asked to do in-class assignments related to what we see each day.

You will find a fun way to travel with the expedition.

The Lewis and Clark Expedition

Today we begin looking at the Lewis and Clark expedition. We will watch part of the PBS film:

Lewis and Clark- The Corps of Discovery.

Your job today, and for the next several days, is to pretend that you are a member of the Lewis and Clark expedition. Keep a journal of what you see and experience along the way.

Update on the due date!

This week you will be completing your four year plans in the teaching lab with the famed FMS Counselors.

With that in mind, you will need to work outside of class on your project. It will be due next Wednesday rather than this Friday. So, you will have Monday and Tuesday to work in class if needed.

Remember, this is a "show what you know" project, meaning, you can write an essay, make a poster, create a cartoon on aniboom, a video on animoto, a powerpoint presentation, or invent some other way to show that you can answer the question, "How did the role of the U.S. in the world change between 1783 and 1823?".



The instructions were to use three of the foreign policy events to show the growth of the United States as a nation between 1783 and 1823.
If you have lost the foreign policy worksheet, you will find it on this blog on Wednesday, February 24th.
