September 19th through September 23rd

Here's what is happening this week in Social Studies:

Last week we had all students check out the White book:  This Century for Young People.  Week after next there will be an assignment for students that will be posted here.

So far we have had a quiz, a syllabus to be turned in, and the 9-11 primary document.  This week I am reading to students out of the book Finn Reardon, and students are going to finishing the film Lyddie, and also looking at primary documents from the Industrial Revolution and child labor.

I will also hand out to students the extra credit reading list.  On that list, I have listed novels within our time frame for social studies that students can read and then obtain extra credit.  This is an "easy" way to encourage reading.
