FRIDAY, April 12th:
Yay Friday! I was happy to see so many of you and your families at conferences! Meeting with your families is always a really nice chance for me to get to know yall better, and be a better teacher for you, so thanks for showing up!
You will be turning in your Quick Writes (FOUR if you are in periods 1 & 3, and FIVE if you’re in periods 4, 5, and 6). Plus your Current Event is also due!
4/12 Quick Write:
Today we are reading through some information on the Industrial Revolution. While we discuss the importance of such technological advancements, I want to challenge you to re-define your image of technology– we’re not talking about smart phones and electric cars back in the early 1800s– we’re talking about large machines that make cloth more efficiently, machines that manufacture interchangeable parts (for example, if you take a part two of the same style musket, you could transfer the “interchangeable parts” from one musket to the other and both guns would still work), and steam power. These technological advancements effected more than the economy, but daily life– where people chose to live, how people chose to dress, and even the structure of the family unit.
You will be reading pages 330-335 in our textbook and writing Cornell Notes. Find the reading here: Industrial Revolution Readings

Do yourself a favor and don’t give yourself homework over the weekend: get this done in class!
