January 26

Today we continued with our look at the Industrial Revolution. You copied down some notes on the Industrial Revolution, and then we finally got into the textbook to look at how industrialization occurred in Great Britain, and eventually we'll look at American Industrialization too. You had some questions to do in class related to the notes and the textbook reading. These questions are due tomorrow.
Also we looked at some very poetic songs today in class, including "Don't Like Mondays", "What's the Matter Here?", and "Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town." We analyzed and talked about the meaning of these songs as a class.

Here are some upcoming important dates:

• Chapter 3 Questions due tomorrow
• "Emotion Poem" (Good Copy) due tomorrow for Ms. Holland
• Chapter 2 Quiz (American History) is on Tuesday, February 1st
• "Crazy Title" Poem (see January 20th posting) is due Wednesday, February 2nd (all students must hand this poem in, if you missed this class please check the earlier post!!)
