Hello everyone. Today we discussed the causes and consequences of the Industrial Revolution and the rise of factories. We analyzed the living and working conditions during the time period, and we focused on the usage of child labor at the time. We also compared and contrasted child labor from the Industrial Revolution and today.
For homework, you are to research a specific company that has used child labor and write a letter to that company stating your thoughts on its practices. Grammar and spelling will be checked. This assignment should be about 1-3 paragraphs. Please put the sources that you used on the bottom of the document. Only use reliable sites or sources for this assignment. No Wikipedia or ask.com
Please email me if you have any questions.

B Day: Population Growth, Urbanization, and Geography
Hello everyone! Yesterday we discussed the positive and negative consequences of technological advancements. We analyzed a summary of the Industrial Revolution and then compared it to the current Digital Age. We then discussed/debated whether these advancements helped or hurt society.
One of the consequences of technological advancements during the Industrial Revolution was population growth, the rise of factories, and urbanization (the movement of people into the cities). With these consequences came overcrowding, the spread of disease, pollution, and a lack of healthy living conditions for many British citizens. For homework, you are to read the packet that I handed out and complete the questions relating to the primary sources. Please note that some of the political cartoons within the packet are hard to see. However, you should try your best to answer the questions. NEVER LEAVE A QUESTION BLANK. If you have any questions, you can always email me.
Furthermore, next week begins our Geography unit. As stated in class, we will focus on geographical topics in the first 15-20 minutes at the beginning and the end of the week. Mondays and Tuesdays will focus on map labeling and Thursdays and Fridays will focus on current events/culture of the countries on the continent given. Each student will be given a specific country to research for the discussion at the end of the week. The students must fill in the worksheet given and each student must use reliable sources in order to get their information (i.e., no Wikipedia, ask.com, etc.). Next week we will begin with North America. Below is the list of students and the nations that they must research before next Thursday.
